Consistency with the rest of the code base, which mostly avoids this particular trick. See the 'Declarations' section of CODING_STYLE.rst. As Paolo points out, there's a nice convenient block here already, so there's not much to be gained from putting the declaration in the middle of the for statement. thanks -- PMM
