Up until Python 2.2, there were only three scopes for any block of code:

1) local scope
2) global scope
3) builtin scope

Starting with Python 2.2, you can use variables from enclosing blocks.

So... since our test suite is defined for Python 2.0, you must work with
just the three scopes.

Thanks!

(Found http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0227.html, which goes into some
detail about this.)
