Local (?) variable referenced before assignment [duplicate]

by

In order for you to modify test1 while inside a function you will need to do define test1 as a global variable, for example:

test1 = 0
def testFunc():
    global test1 
    test1 += 1
testFunc()

However, if you only need to read the global variable you can print it without using the keyword global, like so:

test1 = 0
def testFunc():
     print test1 
testFunc()

But whenever you need to modify a global variable you must use the keyword global.
