Non-obvious name bindings

Hello!
It seemed that it was my failure of understanding python but the
fact that introducing variable in list comprehension binds it to
functions scope(as every declaration means to?) is not really
obvious.
I mean this:
>>> [e for e in ['exists']]
['exists']
>>> e
'exists'
And I'm still confused - those "temporary" variables declaration
looks so "innocent", and in most cases (in every case for list
comprehensions I guess?) it's everyones intension not to use this
variable somewhere outside the loop.
What are your thoughts?
Best regards,
