Michael Foord <mich...@voidspace.org.uk> added the comment: hippmr: the problem is that by importing SOMETHING inside that function you're creating a *local variable* called SOMETHING. If the override isn't executed, and SOMETHING isn't global, then that local variable doesn't exist - which is why you get that error.
So even if the import isn't executed, its existence in the function tells Python that name is local to the function. ---------- nosy: +michael.foord resolution: -> invalid stage: -> committed/rejected status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13827> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
