Clayton, try to understand how scoping works in Python before you go back to
your actual code. Can you predict what the following snippet will produce?
x = "first global"
def f():
return x
def g():
return x
x = "local"
x = "second global"
print(f())
print(g())
What will the first print() produce?
'first global', i. e. the value the name x is bound to when f is created, or
'second global', the value the name x is bound to when f() is invoked?
What will g() try to return? The local variable x or the global variable x?
Does it succeed? If not, why?
Once you are clear about both problems fixing your actual code should be
easy.
