无法访问函数外部的变量

Question

I keep getting the following error when trying to access a variable from one function inside another function.

NameError: global name 'savemovieurl' is not defined

how can i access the "savemovieurl" from the function "tmdb_posters" inside "dynamic_data_entry" to save it to the database?

i've tried adding global to the variable name, and had no success.

I think this has already been answered here: How do I use a variable so that it is inside and outside of a function

I know I should comment this however for some reason I can't so I just thought I'd write it as an answer instead. I hope this helps.
