This is actually a feature. Private functions and variables are scoped to just the cell

K, thanks--that's good to know. I'll start using that because I've found when I do:

with open(<filename>) as f:
    data = f.read()

with open(<filename>) as f:
    data = f.read()

I can't do it in future cells which is really annoying. I'll use _f

Yea that’s also a python nuance which I hit myself unknowingly. It’s also the same for for-loops. Python leaks the variable
