Hi All,
i've been having problems with a small section of code that i have written.
the code works if it is in the main program file. but when i put it into it's own module i keep getting errors with the varables even thougth they are being used a few lines up the code.
i've been trying to sort this out all night.

def __init__(self,button):
        
        self.pref_win = gtk.Window(gtk.WINDOW_TOPLEVEL)
        self.pref_win.set_border_width(0)
        self.pref_win.set_title("Preferences")
        self.pref_win.connect("destroy",self.destroy)
        ## Windows  Stuff
        box1 = gtk.VBox(False,0)  ## Virtical Layout Box
        self.pref_win.add(box1)
        box1.show()
        
        self.box2 = gtk.VBox(False,10)
        box2.set_border_width(10)
        box1.pack_start(box2,True,True,0)
        box2.show()
        
        ## Setup Radio Buttons
        radio_button = gtk.RadioButton(group=None, label="Only display an icon when battery is charging or discharging")
        radio_button.connect("toggled",self.Radio_Call_Back,"show_charging_discharging")
        box2.pack_start(radio_button,True,True,0)
        radio_button.show()
        ##Button 2
        radio_button = gtk.RadioButton(radio_button, label="Only show an icon when battery is discharging")
        radio_button.connect("toggled",Radio_Call_Back,"Show_discharging_only")
        box2.pack_start(radio_button,True,True,0)
        radio_button.show()
        ##Button 3
        radio_button = gtk.RadioButton(radio_button, label="Always display an icon")
        radio_button.connect("toggled",Radio_Call_Back,"Always_show")
        box2.pack_start(radio_button,True,True,0)
        radio_button.show()
        ##Separtor
        separator = gtk.HSeparator()
        box1.pack_start(separator,False,True,0)
        separator.show()
        
        box2 = gtk.VBox(False,10)
        box2.set_border_width(10)
        box1.pack_start(box2,False,True,0)
        box2.show()
        #Okay Button
        okay_button = gtk.Button("Okay")
        okay_button.connect_object("clicked",self.okay_button_clicked,self.pref,None)
        box2.pack_start(okay_button,True,True,0)
        okay_button.show()                    
                
        self.pref_win.show()

this is the error i'm getting.

File "/home/matthew/Projects/batterymon/branches/batterymon-hal/preferences.py", line 49, in prefs
radio_button = gtk.RadioButton(radio_button, label="Only show an icon when battery is discharging")
NameError: name 'radio_button' is not defined

but as you can see the radio_button is used just above line 49

Please HELP
Kind Regards
Matthew

I'm not going to pretend to be a whiz with Python, but the only thing I noticed that varies between the seemingly successful implementation vs the unsuccessful line 49, is this (in bold)

radio_button = gtk.RadioButton(radio_button, label="Only show an icon when battery is discharging")

Where the line before it has group=none, try group=radio_button, and make sure the group exists, or enclose it in quotes if it's a string being passed to a method? That's the only idea I have. Also, it says the name is undefined, but doesn't specify which occurrence of the word it is.

Just my $0.02,
Lswest

P.S. on a slightly off-topic note...if you get that battery monitor working, care to share it? I'd be interested.
