Try typing this into IDLE:

If you submit those three lines to Python from the command line, that is
what you see.
In interactive command-line Python, this doesn't throw an error,
it works fine if the name is used later:
def a():
def b():
nonlocal q
q+=1
I verified that interactive Python also syntax checks each line as
entered, even for compound statements. Details should be left to the
tracker issue you raised.
