Ok, Ethan, that makes sense - I generally work with modules in folders,
etc., but, this was just test code, but, 'see' if I instead import
scoping2 as sc2, and then refer to sc2.dt_expiry and sc2.do_it, then it
does operate as it should - thanks, again.

And it becomes clear: only do `from ... import *` when the module has
been specifically designed to support that.
If you were to also do `import scoping2` and, after calling `do_it()`,
`print(scoping2.dt_expiry)`, you would see that it had changed.
I know there are good explanations for how variables and names work in
Python, but I couldn't find any at the moment. Sorry.
