Hi,

 I have the following declared in my class, I am trying tp call a
method defined in the same class
I am not sure why I am getting name not defined error

    if options.uploadFile != None :
        print "This is path", the_rest
        filePath = the_rest
        UploadFile(None,filePath)

def UploadFile(self,path):
    print "I wil upload now"
    os.chdir(homeFolder)
    config = ConfigParser.ConfigParser()
    .....

any ideas why the error name UploadFile not defined


Because you need to define things *before* you use them the first time. This is not to be confused with forward-declarations, as they are needed in C for example - in python you can do


def foo():
   bar()

def bar():
   foo()


(resulting in an endless loop of course)

But you can't do


def foo():
   bar()

foo() # this will fail

def bar():
   foo()
