Imagine namespaces like folders in your computer. Each folder can hold different files with different names. Similarly, each namespace in Python can hold various objects (like variables, functions, classes) with different names.

Now, imagine you have two folders named "Documents" on your computer: one in your Pictures folder and another on your Desktop. They can both be called "Documents" because they are in different folders, right?

This is similar to how namespaces work in Python. Different namespaces can have the same name for objects because they are separate "folders" that don't conflict with each other.

Each namespace has its own "scope," which is like a boundary that determines where you can access those objects. If you're inside a specific folder, you can easily access the files within it, but you might need to specify the whole path to access files in another folder.

In Python, the scope determines which namespace you look in to find a particular object with a given name. So, even if you have two objects named "x" in different namespaces, they won't clash because the program knows which "x" you're referring to based on its scope.
