Stealing concepts shamelessly from
http://www.slideshare.net/r1chardj0n3s/dont-do-this-24000445, you can
do this:
import inspect
from contextlib import contextmanager
@contextmanager
def scope(namespace=None):
old_names = inspect.currentframe().f_back.f_back.f_locals.copy()
yield
names = inspect.currentframe().f_back.f_back.f_locals
if namespace is not None:
new_names = {k:v for k, v in names.items() if k not in
old_names and v is not namespace}
namespace.update(**new_names)
names.clear()
names.update(old_names)
So you *can* do:
>>> for i in range(3):
... with scope():
... for i in range(3):
... print("Inner:", i)
... print("Outer", i)
Inner: 0
Inner: 1
Inner: 2
Outer 0
Inner: 0
Inner: 1
Inner: 2
Outer 1
Inner: 0
Inner: 1
Inner: 2
Outer 2
:)
If you pass scope() a dictionary, all the new variables will get added to it.
