It is only clear if you already have a model of how labels work in Python and while it is understandable to me now, I wouldn’t say this is anything I would expect
Then again, shadowing variables is allowed in other languages and is also a source of confusion and mistakes at times
The point of the visualization at the Solution link is precisely to help people get the right model of how labels and the data model in general works in Python. See the Explanation link for more details.
Yeah, the visualisation is great, that is for sure
Thanks a lot, I hope it can bring much value for you.
