Re: [Zope] local variable

I've got a python script that sets a variable:

notes_eo_counter = 0

And then defines a function:

def printNotesRow(columns): .... ... This has worked just fine in several scripts, but in this particular one I'm gettin an error:

Error Type: UnboundLocalError Error Value: local variable 'notes_eo_counter' referenced before assignment

The problem is that you write to the variable: Variables from an outer scope are read automatically. However, as soon as you assign to a variable, you must declare it as from the outer scope. Please read the Python reference manual for more information. Dieter
