[Python-ideas] explicitation lines in python ?

Not so much shot down, as "never found a syntax and semantics that
were sufficiently clear".

Looking up 'statement local namespaces' for Python brings up some old
discussions of the idea:
http://www.mail-archive.com/python-list@python.org/msg07034.html

(the 'new' compiler in that message is the AST compiler adopted in
Python 2.5. The 'nonlocal' keyword now gives us more options in
deciding how to handle assignment statements)

Cheers,
Nick.
