Try as I might, I can't get that to raise an exception. That said, agreed that this is weird. Python makes some really unintuitive choices regarding scope.

  it raises an exception if blahblah() returns False, because then b never gets defined.

  Ok. Try this. if input() == "dynamic scope?": defined = "happyhappy" print(defined)
