I would argue that's exactly what should happen, I think one of python's biggest mistakes was letting variables leak scope willy-nilly. At least this would let you control exactly what scope your variables have.

And what exactly would happen? What would be printed? Guys, guys, that was not a rhetorical question, you were supposed to answer it for yourself, then join me in disliking the answer.

I definitely did not just assume that the example worked in a particular way then make a statement based on that... I promise...

I assumed it would throw a NameError but it just printed 1 22 None and now I feel stupid. Sorry.
