NameError: name 'exit' is not defined
PythonCx FreezePython Problem Overview
I used cxfreeze to create a Windows executable from planrequest.py. It seemed to work ok, but when I run the exe file I get NameError: name 'exit' is not defined
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30144893/name-exit-is-not-defined-in-python states that the fix is to use import sys
. However, I use import sys. The code runs fine as a python script (as in, I extensively tested the command line arguments before compiling to an executable.)
import socket
import sys
if len(sys.argv) == 1:
print("Usage:")
print("PlanRequest [Request String] [Server IP (optional: assumes 127.0.0.1 if omitted)]")
exit()
#[do stuff with the request]
Python Solutions
Solution 1 - Python
Importing sys will not be enough to make exit
live in the global scope.
You either need to do
from sys import exit
exit()
or
import sys
sys.exit()
Note that, as you are also using argv, in the first case you should do from sys import argv,exit
Solution 2 - Python
You have to apply the function to sys:
from sys import exit
exit()
because exit
is the function itself, you need to call it with ()
