[ilknurg]

I have the code below. When i run it, i get this error

UnboundLocalError: local variable 'wmi' referenced before assignment

How can i solve it?

import os import mysql.connector from mysql.connector.constants import ClientFlag import json from datetime import datetime import wmi_client_wrapper as wmi import base64 exec(open("/etc/epp/SNMP/mysqlconnector.py").read()) wmi_username = " " wmi_password = " " wmi_hostname = " " def wmi_access(): query = "select wmi_username, wmi_password, wmi_hostname from wmi_account where status = 'enable'" cursor = connection.cursor(dictionary=True) cursor.execute(query) usrnme = cursor.fetchall() for data in usrnme: username = data['wmi_username'] password = data['wmi_password'] password_active = base64.b64decode(password).decode("utf-8") wmi_hostname = data['wmi_hostname'] wmi = wmi.WmiClientWrapper( username=wmi_username, password=password_active, host=wmi_hostname, ) wmi_access()

import wmi_client_wrapper as wmi
...
wmi = wmi.WmiClientWrapper(...)

You should not introduce a variable with the same name as the (alias of) the module you imported.

... import wmi_client_wrapper as wmi ... # OUT HERE wmi IS A MODULE ... def wmi_access(): ... # IN HERE wmi IS A LOCAL VARIABLE BECAUSE OF THIS LINE wmi = wmi.WmiClientWrapper( username=wmi_username, password=password_active, host=wmi_hostname, ) # AND NOW IT IS A MODULE AGAIN wmi_access()
