Question

I am trying to make some edits to a docx file… making a number into letter (i.e. if the variable is equal to 01 = ‘one’, equal to 02 = ‘two’, and so on, but in Spanish). The problem is that the variable f_dia_nom doesn’t work … it doesn’t even print anything… am I doing something wrong?? or am I missing something??

#!/usr/bin/env python2.6

from Tkinter import *
from docx import *
import tkMessageBox

root = Tk()

nombre = ""
exp_no = ""
ubic = ""
munic = ""
prov = ""
f_dia = ""
f_dia2 = ""
f_dia_nom = ""

def nombre_dia():
         if f_dia2 == 1 or f_dia2 == 01:        
             f_dia_nom = "Un"
         elif f_dia2 == 2 or f_dia2 == 02:               
             f_dia_nom  =  "Dos"
         elif f_dia2 == 3 or f_dia2 == 03:        
             f_dia_nom = "Tres"
         elif f_dia2 == 4 or f_dia2 == 04:               
             f_dia_nom = "Cuatro"
         elif f_dia2 == 5 or f_dia2 == 05:               
             f_dia_nom = "Cinco"
         elif f_dia2 == 6 or f_dia2 == 06:        
             f_dia_nom = "Seis"
         elif f_dia2 == 7 or f_dia2 == 07:               
             f_dia_nom = "Siete"             
         else:
             f_dia_nom = "Error"

Answer 1

Look up ‘global scoping’ rules for python. In general, try to avoid global variables as much as possible(if only to avoid errors like these)

in nombre_dia():

f_dia_nom = "Un" 

or any other assignment for that matter has the python compiler create that number LOCAL to the nombre_dia function.

modify your function to declare f_dia_nom as a global:

def nombra_dia():
   global f_dia_nom

   ...

It will have nombre_dia SEE the f_dia_nom as the global
