What are some examples of local scope in Python?

Local scope in Python refers to variables that are defined within a function and can only be accessed inside that function. For example, if you define a variable inside a function, it won't be available outside of it.

Can you show me a code example?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

def my_function():
    local_var = 10  # This is a local variable
    print(local_var)

my_function()  # This will print 10
print(local_var)  # This will raise an error because local_var is not accessible here.

What happens if I try to access the local variable outside the function?

If you try to access a local variable outside its function, you'll get a NameError because the variable is not defined in that scope.

Are there any exceptions to this rule?

No, local variables are strictly confined to their function. However, if you return the variable from the function, you can use it outside.
