Variables in Python are generally function-scoped instead of block-scoped, because the latter doesn’t work well with implicit variable declarations.

However, there are some special cases where variable scope is smaller than a whole function, e.g. within list comprehensions.

Or we can think of a list comprehension as a function doing a loop/collect under the scenes.
