NameError: name 'data' is not defined

Question

I copied the answer to this stack overflow quesiton Decoding base64 from POST to use in PIL ie:

from PIL import Image
from io import BytesIO
import base64

data['img'] = '''R0lGODlhDwAPAKECAAAAzMzM/////wAAACwAAAAADwAPAAACIISPeQHsrZ5ModrLlN48CXF8m2iQ3YmmKqVlRtW4MLwWACH+H09wdGltaXplZCBieSBVbGVhZCBTbWFydFNhdmVyIQAAOw==''' 

im = Image.open(BytesIO(base64.b64decode(data)))

and ran it in my text editor and keeps saying data is undefined but I can't figure out why.

Remove ['img']

from PIL import Image
from io import BytesIO
import base64

data = '''R0lGODlhDwAPAKECAAAAzMzM/////wAAACwAAAAADwAPAAACIISPeQHsrZ5ModrLlN48CXF8m2iQ3YmmKqVlRtW4MLwWACH+H09wdGltaXplZCBieSBVbGVhZCBTbWFydFNhdmVyIQAAOw==''' 

im = Image.open(BytesIO(base64.b64decode(data)))

this worked! do you know how I then get the url to check the image? – Bob Apr 17 '18 at 01:50
Sorry, I don't understand what url are you talking about – Daniele Cappuccio Apr 17 '18 at 01:54
so the data is the src of an image from google, but I want to be able to open that image? like view it in a browser. – Bob Apr 17 '18 at 01:55
Ok, you can go [here](https://codebeautify.org/base64-to-image-converter) and paste the content of data, without the first three `'''` and the last three `'''`. – Daniele Cappuccio Apr 17 '18 at 01:57
hum it doesn't work, I think my full question entails a much longer post – Bob Apr 17 '18 at 02:01

Just add data = dict() before the data['img'] = .... data need to be define as a dict before you can access the dict key with the bracket operator.
