New submission from Andreas Hofmeister <andreas.hofmeis...@yahoo.de>:
Description:
An unexpected UnboundLocalError is produced when assigning a value to a
variable inside a nested function. The first assignment to the variable is in
the enclosing function.
Example:
def x():
a = False
def y():
print a
a = True
return y
Calling x()() produces an UnboundLocalError on the 'print a' line.
If the 'a = True' line is removed, no error occurs.
Tested with:
- 2.5.1
- 2.6.5
Keywords:
Nested function, UnboundLocalError, variable assignment
Thank you for your attention
