Global name not defined concept in python

Global name not defined concept in python

No worries 🙂 welcome to Python! Its throwing that error because its looking for a global variable that doesnt exist — and the reason it doesnt exist is because youre not hitting the if type == accounts condition!

try this:

for i in included:
  global signs,accounts, regions
  global sign_name, acc_name, rg_name
  regions = no region yet
  acc_name = no acc_name yet
   if type == regions
     regions = i
     rg_name = regions[data][region]
   if type == accounts
     accounts = i
     acc_name = accounts[data][account]

   print(Stopping account  + acc_name +  in region  + rg_name)

That will clear the error and at least let you see what other bugs may be popping up 🙂

Ill also point out, as Im sure you will hear from others, theres no reason for you to be declaring global variables in this context. It was initially saying cant find global variable because before you put in the global keywords, it wasnt triggering on the if statement and so first it checked the locals() variables, and not finding it, searched for the globals() variables, and not finding it kicked and error.

You can remove the global variables and it will work fine like so:

for i in included:
   regions = no region yet
   acc_name = no acc_name yet
   if type == regions
     regions = i
     rg_name = regions[data][region]
   if type == accounts
     accounts = i
     acc_name = accounts[data][account]

   print(Stopping account  + acc_name +  in region  + rg_name)

Another quick note, never the type as a variable… use type_ instead. The reason is type is a builtin Python function and if you use type as a variable you are accidentally aliasing that builtin name.

Finally, just to clean up the script a little more:

# only use i when youre using numbers, otherwise just call it 
# the name of the data youre using :)
for account_data in included:
   regions = no region yet
   acc_name = no acc_name yet
   if type_ == regions
     rg_name = account_data[data][region]
   if type_ == accounts
     acc_name = account_data[data][account]

   # heres an example of Pythonic string formatting :)
   print(Stopping account {} in region {}.format(acc_name, rg_name))

Before you use the global variable acc_name in your function for reading, it must be first initialized somewhere: either outside of the function or inside it. If type == accounts, then the variable would be initialized, but if it is not, it wouldnt be.

From what I can see is that you never predefine acc_name in both local and global scopes.
The error wouldnt exist if you add acc_name = something anywhere before print(Stopping account + acc_name + in region + rg_name).

The error in your code is that if type == accounts but the type wasnt accounts so acc_name = accounts[data][account] never ran.

Try this:

for i in included:
   global signs,accounts, regions
   global sign_name, acc_name, rg_name

   if type == regions:
       regions = i
       rg_name = regions[data][region]
   else:
       rg_name=No regions #backup str
   if type == accounts:
       accounts = i
       acc_name = accounts[data][account]
   else:
       acc_name=No accounts #backup str

   print(Stopping account  + acc_name +  in region  + rg_name)

This way there will be no errors

I dont know if that was your code but global command only need to be used inside functions for that it is not necessary to use it elsewhere.

and as a side note, a little more code would be appreciated and type isnt a good variable because it is also a builtin method.
