I'm facing an issue that seems easy to resolve but I can't find a simple solution to it:

I want to create a few empty lists that will later copy each other inside my main function, but when I when I try to do so I run into this error:

UnboundLocalError: local variable 'Player4' referenced before assignment

Player1 = []
Player2 = []
Player3 = []
Player4 = []
Player5 = []
Player0 = []

def getinfo ():

        Atest = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7]
        Player0 = Player5
        Player5 = Player4
        Player4 = Player3
        Player3 = Player2
        Player2= Player1
        Player1= Atest

getinfo()

at first I need all the list to be empty and then pass information to the other lists but it seems like to isn't the right way to proceed...

Even if it worked, this is bad code. Don't write it like this. Instead, your function should *return* the desired value. – Konrad Rudolph Feb 28 '23 at 11:28
You should have *one list of players*, not individual variables. – deceze Feb 28 '23 at 11:40
