> **Namespaces** are created at different moments and have different lifetimes. The namespace containing the built-in names is created when the Python interpreter starts up, and is never deleted. The global namespace for a module is created when the module definition is read in; normally, module namespaces also last until the interpreter quits.​
>
​> The **local namespace** for a function is created when the function is called, and deleted when the function returns or raises an exception that is not handled within the function.​
>
​> A **scope** is a textual region of a Python program where a namespace is directly accessible.​
>
​> Although scopes are determined statically, they are used dynamically. At any time during execution, there are 3 or 4 nested scopes whose namespaces are directly accessible:​
> * the innermost scope, which is searched first, contains the local names​
> * the scopes of any enclosing functions, which are searched starting with the nearest enclosing scope, contains non-local, but also non-global names​
> * the next-to-last scope contains the current module’s global names​
> * the outermost scope (searched last) is the namespace containing built-in names​
