Please read up on how to use for loops as the above is usually a code smell.
if test[x] in "AEIOUaeiou":
stem = test [x:]
prefix = test [:x]
pigword = stem + prefix + "ay"
print ("Stem ",stem)
print ("Prefix",prefix)
print (pigword)
break
return (pigword)
This is Python so please get rid of those unnecessary brackets. Having
done that assume that you have an empty test so your loop never gets
entered, the local pigword never gets assigned before the return hence
your UnboundLocalError.
for x in range(len(newex)):
Ditto.
sentence = sentence + pigword(newex[x])+ " "
print (sentence)
wait = input (" Wait")
The program seems to work and it does work with everything I have
tried so far. The one exception is if you change "the" to "my" (in
the first line) the program crashes.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Documents and
Settings\Administrator\Desktop\Functions\test.py", line 25, in
<module>
sentence = sentence + pigword(newex[x])+ " "
File "C:\Documents and
Settings\Administrator\Desktop\Functions\test.py", line 22, in pigword
return (pigword)
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'pigword' referenced before
assignment

My fellow Pythonistas, ask not what our language can do for you, ask
what you can do for our language.
