I stumbled into a weird problem. I narrowed it down to the lines below just to focus on exactly what's happening so, please, don't mind the purposes of this code.
Code is:
dictionary = {
'key': 'value'
}
class Test:
a = {**dictionary}
b = dictionary['key']
c = {i: dictionary[i] for i in dictionary}
Runs without any problems.
If I change it to:
class Test:
dictionary = {
'key': 'value'
}
a = {**dictionary}
b = dictionary['key']
c = {i: dictionary[i] for i in dictionary}
I'll get this:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/PythonTest.py", line 2, in class Test:
File "/home/PythonTest.py", line 12, in Test c = {i: dictionary[i] for i in dictionary}
File "/home/PythonTest.py", line 12, in c = {i: dictionary[i] for i in dictionary}
NameError: name 'dictionary' is not defined
Why would the NameError be thrown only on the third assignment? When debugging, I see that assignments to variables a and b work just fine.
