Python is an interpreted language, and whilst classes can apparently be
declared within nested blocks, they all effectively exist at the same level
_within the interpreter_. In this sense, Python is a 'flat' language. A
compiled language cannot handle things in this way. Similar comments apply
to the LISP family and others.
