variables with loop-local scope?

[Brian Alexander]

I remember using a language many years ago that permitted the creation 
of temporary, local variables within the body of a loop (and perhaps 
other statement blocks.) Maybe it was Turing.

Can Python do this?

EX:
---

for i in listOfNames:
   prefixMr = 'Mr'
   prefixMs = 'Ms'

   if i in mansName:
     salutation = prefixMr + i

   else:
     salutation = prefixMs + i

   print 'Hello,' + salutation

----

The idea is that all variables created within the for statements will be 
forgotten once the loop exits. No need to exit the procedure.

Is this possible?

Many thanks,

Brian.
