NameError: name 'rotor' is not defined

I try to import and run selfmade modules under Spyder. The main.py programm

    import rot
    f=rotor(b_x,b_y,b_z,x,y,z)

The rot.py programm

    def rotor(bx,by,bz,x,y,z):
        import numpy as np
        ...

The issue is:

File "C:\Users\Professional.spyder-py3\my_pro\jgut\main.py", line 93, in f=rotor(b_x,b_y,b_z,x,y,z)

NameError: name 'rotor' is not defined

Problem doesn't disappear even after starting brut force start of any imported modules. Is there a way to start all imported modules simultaniously? Or maybesomeone faced this problem?

P.S. Problem appeared today after Anaconda reinstall, becouse of incopatebilities with IK-Multimedia apps (I just removed them). I was starting all the mudules by brut force from the begining.

Solution

  • 1) Please, do not import modules in functions!

    2) rotor is not defined because it is in the rot namespace. You can call it by rot.rotor(args). If you wanted to do call it the way you do, you have to import it like this: from rot import rotor or from rot import * (which imports everything from the rot module and is a bad practise - you should only import what you need).

    The error has nothing to do with anything written in the last 2 paragraphs.
