Is it me or a python wart

[Robin Becker]

With 2.2.1 I'm puzzled why the first returns the local x and the second
the global I suppose x=x rather than z=x is the problem, but don't
understand why. I opposed local scopes originally as I liked the two
scope rule, but this seems more complex than I imagined.

>>> x=2
>>> def bingo(x):
...     class A:
...             z=x
...             def get(self):
...                     return self.z
...     return A().get()
... 
>>> bingo(4)
4
>>> def bango(x):
...     class A:
...             x=x
...             def get(self):
...                     return self.x
...     return A().get()
... 
>>> bango(4)
2
