What is a namespace?
Geek Boy Staff asked 2 years ago What is a namespace?
a. A namespace is a naming system used to ensure that names are unique to avoid name conflicts. A namespace is actually a dictionary where the keys are the names of the variables, and the values of the dictionary are the values of those variables.
b. A namespace is a collection of all Python keywords that we shouldn’t use when defining variables, functions, classes, etc.
c. A namespace is the entire collection of text variables defined while the program is running.

Explanation
A namespace is a mapping from names to objects. Most namespaces are currently implemented as Python dictionaries, but that’s normally not noticeable in any way (except for performance), and it may change in the future. Examples of namespaces are: the set of built-in names (containing functions such as abs(), and built-in exception names); the global names in a module; and the local names in a function invocation.
