So I modified my module:
global something
a = something(5)
def something(i):
return i
And this was the answer I got from the interpreter:
->>> import tst
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in<module>
File "tst.py", line 12, in<module>
a = something(5)
NameError: global name 'something' is not defined
Do you have any comments?
python executes each line as it encounters it. a=something(5) as you
have it attempts to bind the label 'a' to the result of something(5)
which has not yet been defined. You seem to want it to compile
everything first, then execute but it doesn't work that way.
