I guess why I am using those globals is because I really need them to be seen by other modules. Thanks again for the help. Pete -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

I'm not sure what you want here, as you seem to rely on global variables very much, but to me the whole elif-block is bogus. You unecessarily communicate over b['text'] Do it like this: def callconnect(): if b["text"]=="Connect": _nntp = nntplib.NNTP(_global.servername,int(_global.portnumber),_global.userid,_global.userpassword) if(_nntp): _nntp.quit() -- Regards, Diez B.

HELP:UnboundLocalError: local variable '_nntp' referenced before assignment
Hi all, I am in the process of writing an app that will handle news feeds and therefore using the 'nntplib' When I issue the connect command all goes will but when I issue the 'quit()' command I get the following error message: Exception in Tkinter callback Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.3/lib-tk/Tkinter.py", line 1345, in __call__ return self.func(*args) File "./pnews.py", line 26, in callconnect _nntp.quit() UnboundLocalError: local variable '_nntp' referenced before assignment The code below illustrates how I'm using the code. Can anyone help me out in getting this right. Pete def callconnect(): if b["text"]=="Connect": _nntp = nntplib.NNTP(_global.servername,int(_global.portnumber),_global.userid,_global.userpassword) if(_nntp): b["text"]="Disconnect" elif b["text"]=="Disconnect": _nntp.quit() -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
