global name not defined
I added a function 'warn_Admin' and defined it just before another
function 'process_log'. 'process_log' calls this warn_Admin' function.
However, when it gets called i get the following error every time:
---
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/denyhosts.py", line 202, in ?

380, in process_log
[warn_Admin(ip) for ip in new_denied_hosts]
NameError: global name 'warn_Admin' is not defined

If I take the two functions out of their current environment and store
them in test file and run it, it doesn't complain. I'm new to python
so I'm guessing there is some weird scope rule I am missing. I did try
'self.warn_Admin(ip)' just to be safe but then I got a 'too many
arguments' error?
I'm lost :)
the added function plus the header of the existing function(its too
large):
def warn_Admin(warn_ip):
SENDMAIL = "/usr/sbin/sendmail" # sendmail location
p = os.popen("%s -t" % SENDMAIL, "w")
p.write("To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]")
p.write("Subject: test from denyhosts\n")
p.write("\n") # blank line separating headers from body
p.write("Some text\n")
p.write(warn_ip)
sts = p.close()
if sts != 0:
info("Sendmail exit status: %s", sts)
return sts
def process_log(self, logfile, offset):
-
the call to warn_Admin from process_log:
---
if new_denied_hosts:
info("new denied hosts: %s", str(new_denied_hosts))
#[info(ip) for ip in new_denied_hosts]
[warn_Admin(ip) for ip in new_denied_hosts]
else:
debug("no new denied hosts")

Re: global name not defined
google groups told me it had a "server error" the first time i posted this. Sorry for the dupe. Anyways the second one is more complete. Also, I made a mistake in my vocabulary. These are methods and not functions. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: global name not defined
You are probably right and I think I will do so but just for the sake of my understanding of python...I noticed somthing. process_log takes two arguments when called but it's definition has 3 and one of them is "self". So I'm thinking if I modify my warn_Admin definition to include "self" and then call it from process_log with self.warn_Admin... it will work. This explains why I was getting the "too many arguments" error. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
