It is not a convenience but a portable way to keep track of your
current
location. It keeps changing. And, in some cases, you retreat back and follow
a nextleft or nextright pointer of sorts.
In examples like that, the construct is not for convenience but simply because
it makes no sense to approach a

The other language I have used (and often) is Processing. Before that, and a
long time ago, Lingo.

No, nor did I suggest that you did. `context` is presumably an
attribute in the `bpy` module, for which you are creating a `context`
attribute in your module.

Hi,
I do not (knowingly) have a module called ‘context'.

Assuming `bpy` is a module, you're creating a new attribute in your
module, `context`, that contains a reference to the same object that is
referenced in the `context` attribute in the `bpy` module.

I don't understand the question. When you do that "for convenience"
assignment, what you're doing is creating a local variable named
"context" which refers to
When I am writing code, I often do things like this:
context = bpy.context # convenience
then whenever I need bpy.context, I only need to write context
Here’s my question:
When I forget to use the convenient shorter form
why is bpy.context not interpreted as bpy.bpy.context?
