Python's scoping is a little weird, but you're actually using it right.
Adding 'import string' to the top of your module should have fixed this
problem, but that's old (like Py 2.1, I think) behavior. Nowadays, you can
write e.g., self._userInfo.append(",".split(line)).
Also, there's a CSV module that will take care of reading and splitting CSV
files for you. Personally, I would write this all out a little differently,
taking advantage of the fact that performing operations in the global context
is allowed:
...
import csv
...
userInfo = csv.reader(file('new-user-info.csv', 'rb'))
class TestRunner:
def __init__(self):
for row in userInfo:
# row is a tuple of cells
print row
hopefully that helps.
