This is using some really 'featured' namespace called class to do things
which are useful to all namespaces.So not a solution but a hack.
Also 'self' is something really away from my example.A cloned namespace
of the class probably.
Working hard with python namespaces is hacking: probably this makes us
masters of python, when using namespaces should be a base knowledge.

You cut the phrase and the meaning of it.
The only one solution I'm talking about is this:
Stated 'outer var' in a namespace, jumping out of the namespace
we found ourselves in another namespace.
If 'var' is bound there, that's the solution to
the 'outer' ,if not we jump out again.If the 'var' is never found we
can raise an UnboundOuter error probably.
