Dear All, I have a main .py script which contains code that occasionally calls some functions. This script calls in these defined functions from other .py files in the same directory as the main .py. However, even after importing the functions from the different .py files, I get error messages, such as "global name 'np' is not defined" even though I define "import numpy as np" initially in my main .py script. To show some detail, I import some modules at the beggining of my main .py script as such:
from scipy.constants import m_p,G,k import numpy as np from math import cos, pi, floor import matplotlib.pyplot as plt from findall import findall from pylab import * import sys import timeit from copy import copy from array import array from bol_heatFTCS_nonadaptive import heatFTCS #this is my first user-defined function that calls the defined function 'heatFTCS' from file 'bol_heatFTCS_nonadaptive.py' from bol_runge_kutta_functions import dy1_dt,dy2_dt,dy3_dt,dy5_dt #this is my second user-defined function that calls the defined functions 'dyi_dt's from file 'bol_runge_kutta_functions.py' from bol_runge_kutta_evl_nonadaptive import runge_kutta_evl #this is my first user-defined function that calls the defined function 'runge_kutta_evl' from file 'bol_runge_kutta_evl_nonadaptive.py' m_range,p_range,T_range,r_range,rho_range = np.loadtxt('(there are some other directories here that don't matter for this discussion)/planetary_structure_params.txt', unpack=True, usecols=[0,1,2,3,4]) #imports some data to 5 arrays When I run this main.py, I get an error message from the imported 'runge_kutta_evl' function that numpy is not defined. Why is it that even though I have it defined in my script it does not recognize it in my function called to the script? It turns out that even if I then state 'import numpy as np' in my 'runge_kutta_evl' function, I then another error that 'r_range' is not defined. But aren't 'r_range' and 'np' supposed to be accesible to all called functions in the main .py? Thank you, R.B. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
