RE: isPrime works but UnBoundLocalErr or when mapping on list

Wrong.
Thank you.
For loop variables continue after the loop exits. This is
intentional.
I never knew that and I can't find reference to it in the docs.
Interesting starting point. It never occurred to me
that they might not. (So I didn't look for anything
in the docs when they did :) ).

I don't have experience of too many other languages, but in C++ (and I
guess C)...

for (int i=0; i<10; ++i)
{
doStuff(i);
}

doStuff(i); // Error

int i;

for (i=0; i<10;++i)
{
doStuff(i);
}

doStuff(i); // No error

That's the behaviour I was expecting.

Is the Python behaviour just a happy side effect of the target list
assignment or specific design decision?

Cheers,

I was going to file this as a bug in the tracker, but maybe it's not really a bug. Poor Python code does what I consider to be unexpected. What's your opinion? With Python 2.3.2 (but also happens with 2.2) An import within a function that shadows a global import can raise UnboundLocalError. I think the real problem is that the the local 'import sys' is seen as occuring after the use of sys within this function, even though sys is...

I'm trying to define a function that prints fields of given widths with specified alignments; to do so, I wrote some helper functions nested inside of the print function itself. I'm getting an UnboundLocalError, and after reading the Naming and binding section in the Python docs, I don't see why. Here's the error: >>> fieldprint(, 'rl', ) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?

Hi, I am trying to work out why I get UnboundLocalError when accessing an int from a function where the int is at the global scope, without explicitly declaring it as global but not when accessing a list in similar circumstances. The documentation: http://docs.python.org/ref/naming.html does not give me enough info to determine why the difference exists as it does not seem to mention types at all..

Hi, i have a problem, the source of which is probably the fact, that i have not understood how to declare global variables - I use the Jython compiler, but i think this is a Python issue... First of all, i don not use any classes in this module. The problem is, that i declare and instantiate some vars outside the functions (global ones), but when i use them inside the functions, i get an "UnboundLocalError" error.

isPrime works when just calling a nbr but not when iterating on a list, why? adding x=1 makes it work though but why do I have to add it? Is there a cleaner way to do it? def isPrime(nbr): for x in range(2, nbr + 1): if nbr % x == 0: break

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it.
