NameError: x

[Stuart James]

This problem is occurring in Jython:

File "<iostream>", line 0, in execute
NameError: x

class test(cycleevent):
	x = 100
	def execute(a, b):
		global x
		x -= 1
		player.sendMessage("testing....")
		if x == 0:
			b.stop()
def stop(a):
	return

Why is it throwing this? cycleevent being a Java abstract class.

Fixed it myself! Completely new to Python...

The answer is in Python scoping rules. The global namespace for a function is always the module in which the function is defined. In your case you can directly access the variable with the dot operator: test.x -= 1
