outbound x = 1
FWINW, to me 'nonlocal' clearly and immediately tells you what you need to know about the variable.
'outbound' has no programming associations for me (it makes me think of 'outward bound' and roaming the great outdoors). So negative or not I'm +1 on nonlocal if we really need this... (Hey, and I'm a native.)

x = 2
evaluating using Jeremy Hilton's' list: 1. is a real word 2. For me - in python - it would mean: Is found in 'outer' scope and is already bound. And the literal meaning of 'outbound 'headed away' [1] is pretty darn close to what I mean when I spell the usual mutables kluge. 3 statement is positive form 4. I like it could not find a use of outbound in python source (2.4.3) [1] http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=outbound
