c is a name in the local scope of a(). You can call c from within a, 
where the name is in scope, or you can return c or in some other way 
make the value available in some other scope:

In [5]: def a():
    ...:     def c():
    ...:         print 'called c'
    ...:     c()
    ...:     return c
    ...:

In [6]: cc=a()
called c

In [7]: cc()
called c
