Referenced Before Assignment Error In Python In A For Loop

Question

The Code I Am Receiving The Error From:

    for img in imgs:
        if kws.lower() in img['href'].lower():
            productLink = f'https://www.{site}.com' + img['href'] 
            price = requests.get(productLink)
            soup = BeautifulSoup(price.text, 'html.parser')
            itemPrice = soup.find(class_='money').text.split('$')[1] + '00'
        else:
            pass

    imageSrc = requests.get(productLink)

Error Message:

    imageSrc = requests.get(productLink)
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'productLink' referenced before assignment

To Me This Doesn't Make Much Such Because I Clearly Assign The Variable Information.

Answer 1

You Assigned the information in an if statement, if if kws.lower() in img['href'].lower(): is false, then prouductLink has no value.

To fix

for img in imgs:
        if kws.lower() in img['href'].lower():
            productLink = f'https://www.{site}.com' + img['href'] 
            price = requests.get(productLink)
            soup = BeautifulSoup(price.text, 'html.parser')
            itemPrice = soup.find(class_='money').text.split('$')[1] + '00'
            imageSrc = requests.get(productLink)
        else:
            pass

Or assign imageSrc = '' befor the if statement
