But it definitely does work in Python 3 if you use 'nonlocal'::
Python 3.0a1+ (py3k:58681, Oct 26 2007, 19:44:30) [MSC v.1310 32 bit
(Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more
information.
>>> def f():
... x = 1
... def g():
... nonlocal x
... x = 2
... print(x)
... g()
... print(x)
...
>>> f()
1
2
That said, I'd like to see the reason you think you want to do this.
