The following constructs bind names: formal parameters to functions,
:keyword:`import` statements, class and function definitions (these bind the
class or function name in the defining block), and targets that are identifiers
if occurring in an assignment, :keyword:`for` loop header, or after
:keyword:`!as` in a :keyword:`with` statement or :keyword:`except` clause.
The :keyword:`!import` statement
if occurring in an assignment (statement or expression), :keyword:`for` loop
header, or after :keyword:`!as` in a :keyword:`with` statement or
:keyword:`except` clause. The :keyword:`!match` statement may bind names within
patterns upon successful pattern matches. The :keyword:`!import` statement
of the form ``from ... import *`` binds all names defined in the imported
module, except those beginning with an underscore. This form may only be used
at the module level.
