To be honest, that's just made it even more weird :) You're creating
something in a local namespace that the Python compiler isn't aware
of.

I wonder, would a 'nonlocal q' declaration inside fun2 affect things any?

Otherwise, maybe there's some completely different way to transfer
information around. Using locals in this way seems fraught with peril.
