I haven't felt that way, I'm always worried about clobbering something by leaking a variable. Maybe collisions don't really happen much, but it's always seemed cleaner to me to use the most restricted scopes possible just to minimize or eliminate the possibility. This is especially attractie in a language like Python, with no declarations and no compile-time type safety. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
