\strong{Programmer's note:} a ``\code{def}'' form executed inside a
function definition defines a local function that can be returned or
passed around. The semantics of name resolution in the nested
function will change in Python 2.2. See the appendix for a
description of the new semantics.
\strong{Programmer's note:} Functions are first-class objects. A
``\code{def}'' form executed inside a function definition defines a
local function that can be returned or passed around. Free variables
used in the nested function can access the local variables of the
function containing the def. See section \ref{naming} for details.
