I'm trying to process some files using threading in Python.Some threads work fine with no error but some through the below exception
Exception in thread Thread-27484:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/threading.py", line 551, in __bootstrap_inner
self.run()
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/threading.py", line 504, in run
self.__target(*self.__args, **self.__kwargs)
File "script.py", line 62, in ProcessFile
if f is not None:
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'f' referenced before assignment
while running my program
Here is Python function
def ProcessFile(fieldType,filePath,data):
try:
if fieldType == 'email':
fname = 'email.txt'
else:
fname = 'address.txt'
f1 = open(fname,'wb')
for r in data[1:]:
r[1] = randomData(fieldType)
f1.write(r[1])
f1.close()
f = open(filePath,'wb')
writer = csv.writer(f)
writer.writerows(data)
f.close()
try:
shutil.move(filePath,processedFileDirectory)
except:
if not os.path.exists(fileAlreadyExistDirectory):
os.makedirs(fileAlreadyExistDirectory)
shutil.move(filePath,fileAlreadyExistDirectory)
finally:
if f is not None:
f.close()
Here is how i'm calling the above function through threading
t = Thread(target=ProcessFile,args=(fieldType,filePath,data))
t.start()
