import - Unsure how to resolve this Bottle error (Python) -

here imports:

from bottle import request, route, run, template, static_file, redirect urllib2 import urlopen, urlerror, request pymongo import mongoclient config.development import config import json 

and here offending line (and line think may causing issue):

game_id = request.forms.get('game_id') request = request(config['singlegame_url'].replace('$gameid', game_id)) 

the error i'm getting is:

unboundlocalerror("local variable 'request' referenced before assignment",)  traceback (most recent call last):   file "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/bottle.py", line 862, in _handle     return route.call(**args)   file "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/bottle.py", line 1732, in wrapper     rv = callback(*a, **ka)   file "app.py", line 23, in add     game_id = request.forms.get('game_id') unboundlocalerror: local variable 'request' referenced before assignment 

my first thought 2 request modules causing issues, couldn't error go away messing around imports , importing stuff as name.

you must rename request variable else.

python kind of reserves variable name request local variable due request = ... before executing code. interpreter executes line game_id = request.forms.get('game_id'), request new reserved local variable, is, undefined.

here's example of same issue:

>>> x = 1 >>> def f(): ...     print(x)  # you'd think prints 1, `x` local variable ...     x = 3  >>> f() traceback (most recent call last):   file "<pyshell#5>", line 1, in <module>     f()   file "<pyshell#4>", line 2, in f     print(x) unboundlocalerror: local variable 'x' referenced before assignment
