In auxmeth, self would refer to the B instance. In get_auxclass, it
would refer to the A instance. If you wanted to access the A instance
in auxmeth, you'd have to use
class A:
def get_auxclass(b, c ):
a_inst = self
class B:
def auxmeth(d, e ):
self # the B instance
a_inst # the A instance
return B
This seems pretty natural to me (innermost scope takes precedence),
and AFAIR this is also how it is done in Java.
