I woudl say taht Python has scoping, yes, but it does not have lexical scoping in any sense of "lexical scoping" that I am aware of. If it did, the code below would not actually work ,as the outside-the-loop print would be trying to access a variable not available in the lexical scope of "the function body", as it is defined and established within the lexical scope of "the loop".

So, at least in my book, no, Python has "global scope", "function scope" and probably one or two more scopes (I think there's a "class scope" as well).

Here's some code in Python, and some equivalent code in Go.

    def foo(a_list):
        print(f"list is {len(a_list} elements")

        for element in a_list:
            print(element)
        print(element)

And here's the equivalent Go code:

    func foo(aList []int) { // Let's use ints...
        fmt.Printf("list is %d elements\n", len(aList))
        var element int // Notice this declaration! This is ensuring that element is declared outside the lexical scope of the for loop
        for _, element = range aList {
            fmt.Println(element)
        }
        fmt.Println(element)
    }
