Summary: NameError assigning to class in a func

Initial Comment:
This fails with a NameError:

def f(x)
    class Private:
        x = x
    return Private
f(17)

But this works:

def f(x):
    y = x
    class Private:
        x = y
    return Private
f(17)

But this fails:

def f(x):
    y = x
    class Private:
        y = y
    return Private
f(17)
