UnboundLocalError: local variable … referenced before assignment

Question

import hmac, base64, hashlib, urllib2
base = \'https://.......\'

def makereq(key, secret, path, data):
    hash_data = path + chr(0) + data
    secret = base64.b64d         


        

Answer 1

You are redefining the hmac variable within the function scope, so the global variable from the import statement isn't present within the function scope. Renaming the function-scope hmac variable should fix your problem.
