I wouldn't consider either nested scopes or the additional restrictions really warts. 'from...import *' is already somewhat frowned upon, and often people use exec in situations where something else would be a better solution (storing variable names in a dictionary instead of exec'ing 'varname=expr'). If we were starting from a clean slate, I'd say accepting nested scopes would be a no-brainer. Compatibility... ay, there's the rub! --amk
