It only happens if you try to *bind* the name "jj" to an object inside
the function.

My guess is that you have a C/C++ view of variables and values, where
variables are locations in memory that can hold values. In Python, such
locations are called objects, and they may or may not have names bound
to them (via assignments).
This might help:

Then read
http://docs.python.org/ref/objects.html
and finally read the "Naming and binding" page again.
