I believe to have observed a difference which also might be worth
noting: the imbedded function a() (second example) has access to all of
the imbedding function's variables, which might be an efficiency factor
with lots of variables. The access is read-only, though. If the inner
function writes to one of the readable external variables, that variable
becomes local to the inner function.

Is there any difference in performance between these two program layouts:
def a():

def(b):
c = a(b)
or
def(b):
def a():
...
c = a(b)
I would appreciate any insights on which layout to choose in which
circumstances.
