Arguably, that's also too strict, but these *four* lines work fine 
interactively:

py> def a():
...     def b():
...             nonlocal q
...     q = 1
...


and also from the command line:


[steve at ando ~]$ python3.3 -c "def a():
>     def b():
>         nonlocal q

so it should also work in IDLE.
