hello,

I've syntax error which I totally don't understand:

########## mainfile :
import test_upframe2

if __name__ == '__main__':
 var1 = 33
 code = 'print var1 + 3 \n'
 test_upframe2.Do_Something_In_Parent_NameSpace ( code )

########### file = test_upframe2 :
class Do_Something_In_Parent_NameSpace ( object ) :
 def __init__ ( self, code ) :
def do_more ( ) :
     nonvar = [3,4]
     while len ( nonvar ) > 0 :            # <<<===
       nonvar.pop()                        # <<<===

   import sys
   p_locals  = sys._getframe(1).f_locals
   p_globals = sys._getframe(1).f_globals
   try :
     exec ( code, p_globals, p_locals )
   except :
     print 'ERROR'


gives me:
SyntaxError: unqualified exec is not allowed in function '__init__' it contains a nested function with free variables (gui_support.py, line 408) "unqualified exec" : I thought that meant there is some ambiguity in the namespace, but I explictly definied the namespace

The function "do_more" is never called, so what does it matter what's in there ?

If I remove the while-loop (which of course I can't) the syntax error disappears.

I can place the function either as a class method or as a normal function outside the class,
which both works well.
But I want the method / function not to be hidden.

Why does the above syntax error appear ?
Are  there other ways to hide the function ?

thanks,
Stef Mientki
