just another issue related to 'strict_undefined'

[George Xie]

hi all

consider following template

from mako.template import Template

t = Template(
"""
<%
l = l

%>
""".strip(),
strict_undefined=True,
)
print t.render(l=l)


would raise "NameError: name 'l' is not defined"

mako thought 'l' is locally_declared, is this a bug or feature?
I think this is caused by scope rule simulation,
say that though 'l' actually in function scope of render_body, where 'l' could be get from render context,

but in fact it is in the logical global scope, which is mimicked by mako, therefore mako wont try to exact 'l' from context.

this is not valid Python, so I'm not sure what feature you'd be looking for here:

>>> l = 'hi'

>>> def foo():

...     l = l

... 

>>> foo()

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>

  File "<stdin>", line 2, in foo

UnboundLocalError: local variable 'l' referenced before assignment
