No, and each call to scramble_text defines a new function "scramble".
Further, there is no way to unit test "scramble".

Hidden, sorry :-)

I don't think you can access a nested function in a clean&nice way (and
you can nest classes too, etc). With a little of Python magic maybe
there is a way to do it..
This is different too, but maybe a little better than my last version:
from random import shuffle
from itertools import groupby
def scramble_text(text):
"""Return the words in input text string scrambled,
except for the first and last letter."""
def scramble(word):
if len(word

Nice. You can have functions inside funct

You are right, my versions is simpler but different and worse. Maybe it
can be fixed a little...

My version is similar to Just one:
from random import shuffle
def scramble_text(text):
"""Return the words in input text string scrambled
except for the first and last letter."""
def scramble_word(word):
if len(word) < 4: return word
core = list(word[1:-1])
