Yeah, that code will almost certainly break in 2.2 when nested scopes become mandatory. It may have been intended, but assignment to a local variable overshadowing a global is rarely the intended effect. Anyways, if you want to get rid of those message now, without changing the code use the -W option to the interpreter. Example : $ python -W ignore Scope.py (I created a file called Scope.py with that code in it) See the last paragraph at http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/warning-filter.html -D
