RE: isPrime works but UnBoundLocalError when mapping on list

Wrong.
Thank you.
For loop variables continue after the loop exits. This is
intentional.
I never knew that and I can't find reference to it in the docs.
Interesting starting point. It never occurred to me
that they might not. (So I didn't look for anything
in the docs when they did :) ).

I don't have experience of too many other languages, but in C++ (and I
guess C)...

for (int i=0; i<10; ++i)
{
doStuff(i);
}

doStuff(i); // Error

int i;

for (i=0; i<10;++i)
{
doStuff(i);
}

doStuff(i); // No error

That's the behaviour I was expecting.

Is the Python behaviour just a happy side effect of the target list
assignment or specific design decision?

Cheers,

Drea
