NameError: x

This problem is occurring in Jython:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. File "<iostream>", line 0, in execute
  2. NameError: x
  3.  
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. class test(cycleevent):
  2.     x = 100
  3.     def execute(a, b):
  4.         global x
  5.         x -= 1
  6.         player.sendMessage("testing....")
  7.         if x == 0:
  8.             b.stop()
  9. def stop(a):
  10.     return
  11.  
Why is it throwing this? cycleevent being a Java abstract class.

The answer is in Python scoping rules. The global namespace for a function is always the module in which the function is defined. In your case you can directly access the variable with the dot operator: test.x -= 1
