Is there anyway to catch the following type of bug in Python code: message = 'This is a message' # some code # some more code if some_obscure_condition: nessage = 'Some obscure condition occured.' # yet more code # still more code print message
In the above example, message should be set to 'Some obscure condition occured.' if some_obscure_condition is True. But due to a lack of sleep, and possibly even being drunk, the programmer has mistyped message. These types of bugs would easily be caught in languages that have a specific keyword or syntax for declaring variables before use. I'm still fairly new to using Python on a more than casual basis, so I don't know if Python has anyway to help me out here. -- Arcadio -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
