def myfunc(): namespace foo foo.x = 42

def incx(): foo.x += 1 The idea here is that foo wouldn't be an object in its own right, but just a collection of names that would be implemented as local variables of myfunc.

But why is that better than

class namespace(object): pass

def my_func(): foo = namespace() (...)

?
