[New-bugs-announce] [issue7747] Function variable wrongly reported unassigned

[Adrian May]

New submission from Adrian May <adrian.alexander.may at gmail.com>:

Hi folks,

The attached program says:

$ ./bug.py
a
None
b
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./bug.py", line 49, in <module>
    print number(s)
  File "./bug.py", line 34, in foo
    while eat != None:
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'eat' referenced before assignment

but I reckon it is assigned. (I haven't tried it on a newer python because the junk I want to use with python says it only works with 2.5.2.) 

Cheers, Adrian.
