Although scopes are determined statically, they are used dynamically.
At any time during execution, there are at least three nested scopes whose
namespaces are directly accessible: the innermost scope, which is searched
first, contains the local names; the namespaces of any enclosing code
blocks (a module, function, or class definition) which are searched starting
with the nearest enclosing scope; the middle scope, searched next, contains
the current module's global names; and the outermost scope (searched last)
is the namespace containing built-in names.
first, contains the local names; the namespaces of any enclosing
functions, which are searched starting with the nearest enclosing scope;
the middle scope, searched next, contains the current module's global names;
and the outermost scope (searched last) is the namespace containing built-in
names.
If a name is declared global, then all references and assignments go
directly to the middle scope containing the module's global names.
