Scope (and extent ?) of variables is one reminder that Python is not Lisp
for i in range(5): print( i )
.........
print( i )
ideally, after the FOR loop is done, the (local) var i should also disappear.
(this almost caused a bug for me)
I wouldn't say "i *should* also disappear". There is no big book of
programming language design with rules like that that all languages have
to follow. Different languages have different behavior. In some
languages, for/if/while statements introduce a new scope, in other
languages they don't. In Python, they don't. I won't say one is better
than the other; they're just different.
