May I say that the LEGB rule apply to run time, not compile time?

>>> x = 1
>>> def f():
...     print(x)
...     print(locals())
...
>>> f()
1
{}
>>> def g():
...     print(x)
...     x = 2
...     print(locals())
...
>>> g()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "<stdin>", line 2, in g
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'x' referenced before assignment
>>> class X:
...     print(x)
...     x = 2
...
1
>>>
The print(x) difference between class and function was caused by that one was executed and the other was compiled. The LEGB rule must apply to run time to make the language dynamic.

Any comment:-)?
