“UnboundLocalError: local variable 'input' referenced before assignment”

Question

When I run my code I get these errors:

linechoice = input(\"What password do you want to delete?:\\n\")

UnboundLocalError: l

Answer 1

You are assigning a string to the variable input in

y_n = input = ("Do you want to save these changes?\ny/n\n")

input now has the value of 'Do you want to save these changes?\ny/n\n'

However, you are also calling the built-in function input in

linechoice = input("What password do you want to delete?:\n")

Consider changing the name of your variable to avoid these conflicts.

Looking at the context of the program, you are probably expecting

y_n = input("Do you want to save these changes?\ny/n\n")

instead of

y_n = input = ("Do you want to save these changes?\ny/n\n")
