Why doesn't Python's nonlocal keyword like the global scope?

Question

In Python 3.3.1, this works:

i = 76

def A():
    global i
    i += 10

print(i) # 76
A()
print(i) # 86

This also works:

def en         


        

Answer 1

The answer is that the global scope does not enclose anything - it is global to everything. Use the global keyword in such a case.
