Description

Probably very low priority for now, put it here just for the sake of completeness.

We need to decide when/if to run every py* function in a different namespace to avoid any conflict with any user defined symbols/variables... Also, ofcourse, the name of the namespace..

Research direction

Start by inventorying the py* functions and reviewing how they currently resolve user-defined symbols. Compare the namespace options and identify affected callers or tests, then document a decision on whether a separate namespace is needed, including its name and expected behavior.
