Variable scope inside and outside functions - global statement being overridden by assignation unless preceded by reference

[Jacob Kruger]

You'll see more details in other mail, but, here I am firing up standard 
python interpreter from within windows terminal, and then executing 
following line:

from scoping2 import *


And, this is under windows 11 windows terminal, which is where I 
generally interact with my python code, via command line - generally 
working with flask, and/or other forms of command line interaction, most 
of the time.
