I'm so lost as to what I'm doing wrong... I've searched the net for a few hours now, tried to reformat my code a bunch, and now I just feel stuck.
This is my code:
import httplib
import json
urlBase = 'amoeba.im'
token = False
username = raw_input('Username? ')
connection = httplib.HTTPConnection(urlBase)
def get(url):
connection.request("GET", url)
response = connection.getresponse()
print response.status, response.reason
print response.read();
if token == False:
token = response.read()
token = token.split('"token":"')[1]
token = token.split('","')[0]
print token
get('/api/login?username=' + username)
get('/api/rooms/join?room=#lobby&token=' + token)
get('/api/postmessage?message=hello%20world&token=' + token)
connection.close()
Here's the terminal output:
Tyler-Keohanes-MacBook-Pro:~ tylerkeohane$ clear && '/usr/bin/pythonw' '/Users/tylerkeohane/Desktop/chatbot.py'
Username? TgwizBot
200 OK

if token == False:
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'token' referenced before assignment

Can anyone help? :(
The clue is here:
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'token' referenced before assignment
You need to declare token as a global:
def get(url):
global token
...
You might also want to consider avoiding global variables as they are generally regarded as a bad practice.
