hello, I've a graphical application (wxPython), where the code in the main GUI loop is given below.
1 JAL_Loaded = False 2 while len(App_Running) > 0: 3 if JALsPy_globals.State == SS_Run: 4 try: 5 if JAL_Loaded: 6 reload ( JAL_simulation_file ) 7 else: 8 JAL_Loaded = True 9 import JAL_simulation_file 10 except JALsPy_globals.Reload_Exception: 11 JALsPy_globals.State = SS_Halt The first time the while loop is entered, JAL_Loaded is False (line 1), and when I press some button, the code will enter at line 8, importing a module, that has executable code with an infinite loop. To exit this infinite loop, an exception is generated (by a button press), and program comes back in the above while-loop line (10,11,2). So far so good. Then I change the code in the imported file, and when I start the engine again, the flag JAL_Loaded is True, so I don't import, but I reload the file. Now I get the next exception UnboundLocalError: local variable 'JAL_simulation_file' referenced before assignment So obviously I can't reload but have to do an import again (which makes the code much simpler ;-) but I don't understand why the reload raises an exception ???? please enlighten me, thanks, Stef Mientki -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
