Why doesn't python see the function?

Question

Python

There is this piece of code:

_set_recipient(connection, recipient)

def _set_recipient(connection, recipient):
    with connection.cursor() as cursor:
        sql = "UPDATE qiqibot SET recipient = '"+recipient+"' WHERE `id` = 1"
        cursor.execute(sql)
    connection.commit()

those. in the code, after the function call, the _set_recipient function immediately goes right after, to which I get an error:


why is this happening and how to fix it? python 3.8.5 windows 10

Answer 1

because you call it first and there is nothing else to call, move it _set_recipient(connection, recipient)below the function
