As David says, this is not a bug. del l indicates that there is a local
variable to be deleled, but when the del statement is executed, there is
no local variable. The error message is confusing in this case: there
actually is no later assignment to l (in the function at all).
Typically, when you have an unbound local, it is because of a later
assignment, such as
def foo():
a = l + 1
l = 2
In this specific example, there is no later assignment - yet it is still
an unbound local.
So that you get the exception is not a bug.
I was going to suggest that the error message could be better, but I
can't think of any other error message that is better and still correct,
hence closing it as won't fix. |
