I'm -1 on adding the intermediate (outer) scopes to functions. I'd even like to see closures gone completely, but there's probably a reason they are there.

We already have enclosing scopes since Python 2.1--this is PEP 227 (http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0227.html). The proposal is for a mechanism to allow for re-binding of enclosing scopes which seems like a logical step to me. The rest of the scoping semantics would remain as they are today in Python.
