@veer66 Correct. Generally only a function or class will open a new scope/namespace.

But also take care with exception handler (argument)s and list comprehension and generator expressions.

@veer66 ?

No. It has nothing to do with "naming" the if-block, but with resolving a variable name (the unqualified reference). The if-expression may or may not use variables, but that is irrelevant.

An if-block does not create a separate scope.
