Except that those are not names, they are attributes. Namespaces nest,
in Python; permissions does not live in namespace, which becomes
obvious if you try to nest it
def f():
return permissions
f.permissions = 'author'
print f()
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "a.py", line 5, in ?
print f()
File "a.py", line 2, in f
return permissions
NameError: global name 'permissions' is not defined
