Can local variables be accessed from other functions in the script?

No, local variables cannot be accessed from other functions in the script. Local variables are confined to the scope of the function in which they are defined. Each function has its own separate scope, and local variables are not visible outside of that function.

Here's an example to illustrate this:

def function_one():
    local_var = "I am local to function_one"
    print(local_var)

def function_two():
    print(local_var)  # This will raise a NameError

function_one()  # Output: "I am local to function_one"
function_two()  # Raises NameError: name 'local_var' is not defined

In this example, local_var is defined in function_one and cannot be accessed in function_two, resulting in a NameError.
