Take a careful look at the variable name here: "Tempertature".  Python's
dynamic nature provides a lot of wonderful benefits, but you've just hit
one of the drawbacks - you don't get any protection from typos in
variable names.

There are some tools that mitigate the problem: pylint and pychecker would  
emit a warning in this case ("name is used only once" or similar), and the  
autocompletion feature -present in most IDE / specialized editors- avoids  
one to re-type the name over and over.
