I would disagree that it is universally considered good practice to declare everything at the front. (There is much disagreement on this, but most consider declare at first use to be preferred, where possible). Last century, C code required this to make things easier on the compiler, and some code bases and examples go back that far, so they use that method out of inertia. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
