That's the "nested_scopes" feature. In 2.1 it is part of the
__future__. That is, by default it is disabled but you can access it
with the line
from __future__ import nested_scopes
at the beginning of the module. In 2.2 nested_scopes became
mandatory.
BTW, I have version 2.2.2-1 of the 'python' package, which means
/usr/bin/python is version 2.2. I actually use 2.2 (or 2.3, if I am
able) for nearly everything anyways. YMMV. (2.3 isn't actually
released as stable yet, so the debian package is like a "sneak
preview")

Yes, Java is so bulletproofed that to a C programmer it feels like being in a
straightjacket, but it's a really comfy and warm straightjacket, and the world
would be a safer place if everyone was straightjacketed most of the time.
