Thanks again, all.

I think the python -i scoping2.py would have given me a good beginning
as well - will archive that one for use.

And, to maybe explain how I work - not an excuse at all - but, I am
actually 100% blind, so a lot of the IDE's, or their common
means/methods of interaction don't suit me all the time, which is why I
generally work via programmer's text editor interfaces, or treat
something like VS code as such, but then still prefer to run my code via
command line, using pdb to then play around with forms of debugging, etc.

And, yes, also generally prefer to work via classes, modules, etc. at
runtime, but this was more or less mostly testing, which then caused
confusion/interference on my side...LOL!
