NameError

NameError

Admin Admin Dec 30, 2019 407 0

The NameError is raised when you have referenced a variable, module, class, function, or some other name that hasn’t been defined in your code. The Python documentation defines when this exception is raised:

Raised when a local or global name is not found. (Source)

In the code below, greet() takes a parameter person. But in the function itself, that parameter has been misspelled to persn:

>>>

>>> def greet(person):
...     print(f'Hello, {persn}')
>>> greet('World')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "<stdin>", line 2, in greet
NameError: name 'persn' is not defined
