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.
