This is sort of a re-do of an earlier proposal which seems to have gotten lost in the shuffle of the larger debate.

I propose to create a new type of scoping rule, which I will call "explicit" lexical scoping, that will co-exist with the current "implicit" scoping rule that exists in Python today.

Interesting. What if for-loops implicitally used "my" on the iteration variable? That would solve the binding problem we were discussing and make lambdas "Do The Right Thing"(TM) when used in loops.
