Éric Araujo added the comment:
The only blocks that create scopes are modules, class and functions.
if, try, with, for, while, etc are blocks but not new scopes.
For the tutorial it could be nice to have an explicit mention and example of
this.

New submission from Marek M :
It can be helpful to mention that variables defined in try block are visible in
except/finally block as well. I did not find this info in Python tutorial and
for me (having C++ background) this is quite unexpected feature.
