Alright, I am pretty much a brand new programmer in high school with about half a years experience(in Python). I am making a basic text game and have run into an error that I have spent hours on but just can’t seem to solve. Sorry if I asked any of this in the wrong way, this is my first question here.
Here is my code:

The problem is, when I run the code in the shell, this is what happens:
Hello, and welcome to my apocalypse game - text edition!
This is my first game, and I would like to make a graphical version
later in my career.
But, for now, here is the text edition of it so you can get a taste
of what is to come.
NOTE: PLEASE ENTER ALL TEXT IN ALL CAPS.
CHARACTER SETUP:
Are you a woman or a man(answer WOMAN/MAN)?MAN
You are a man.
NOTE: IN THIS AREA YOU MAY USE LOWER CAPS. I WILL TELL YOU WHEN TO USE CAPS AGAIN.
What hairstyle do you have?UGLY MULLET
What is the color of your hair?BROWN
What is the color of your eyes?BLUE
How big is your nose(inches)?5
What is the name of your beard(if none say "NONE")?NONE
What is your body type?ATHLETIC
What is your race?WHITE
What are you wearing?JEANS AND A TSHIRT
Here is a summary of you:
You have a UGLY MULLET hairstyle, and you the color of it is BROWN.
Your eyes are the color BLUE.
Your nose is 5 inches long.
You are clean shaven.
You have a ATHLETIC body type.

BEGIN TO ANSWER IN ALL CAPS ONCE AGAIN.
Are you sure this is what you want your character to look like(if you
enter "YES" you will move on. If you enter "NO" the character creation
process will restart)?
Enter "YES" or "NO" now:YES

NameError: global name 'attributeSelection' is not defined
I have no idea why I am getting this error. I think that it is telling me that I did not define the function attributeSelection, but I obviously did. I have also checked all my spelling… so i am stumped. Does anyone know how I could fix this? Thanks for the help.
Try moving the lone
gender()line right at the bottom of the code.When it is being called, the needed methods such as
attributeSelectionare not defined yet.
