Yes. (You can't modify a local variable from an inner scope--this will change in Python 3.0.) > some non-function scopes are dynamic? No: I presume you mean the class statement, which is the only thing other than def that introduces a scope in Python, but it's neither dynamic nor lexical. In fact it's closed: you can only access variables in a class scope from that scope, and not from enclosed scopes (e.g., method defintions) at all.
