Re: [Tutor] Global name not found, though clearly in use

[Corey Richardson]

Hmm..If I add a few debugging lines like that into my code, I get this: Starting program In class Hangman done defs in class eWordEntryBox defined Exception in Tkinter callback Traceback (most recent call last):  File "C:\Python31\lib\tkinter\__init__.py", line 1399, in __call__    return self.func(*args)  File "C:/Users/Corey/Desktop/HangmanApp.py", line 48, in getLetter    self.guess = eWordEntryBox.get() NameError: global name 'eWordEntryBox' is not defined I have the line "eWordEntryBox" right after the definition.

Consider the following: #-----Start File test.py----- def test():   print "in def test" class Test:   print "in class Test"   def __init__(self):     print "in class Test.__init__" print "in __main__" test() t = Test() #-----End File test.py----- Output: in class Test in __main__ in def test in class Test.__init__ ----------------- As you can see, the print statements at the class level are executing when encountered, but the prints in defs only when executed.
