See the attached version of the above that works. So - go check for a typo or something like that. Diez import re re_regexname = re.compile('abc') def func1(): func2() def func2(): if re_regexname.match('abc'): print " whohoo!" if __name__ == '__main__': func1() you're right, it wasn't that, I was trying to locally override a regex object as follows: re_somepattern = re.compile('abc') re_someotherpattern = re.compile('def') def func():     if somecondition:         re_somepattern = re_someotherpattern     <code block>         re_somepattern.match('something')     </code.block> not sure how to override this the way I want, it'd be quite messy if I had to do huge if blocks to handle this inside the other code blocks that use this re_somepattern.match() or perhaps I'm going about this all wrong.... -h
