Every object in Python functions within a scope. A scope is a block of code where an object in Python remains relevant. Namespaces uniquely identify all the objects inside a program. However, these namespaces also have a scope defined for them where you could use their objects without any prefix. A few examples of scope created during code execution in Python are as follows: A local scope refers to the local objects available in the current function. A global scope refers to the objects available throughout the code execution since their inception. A module-level scope refers to the global objects of the current module accessible in the program. An outermost scope refers to all the built-in names callable in the program. The objects in this scope are searched last to find the name referenced.
