[PonyORM-list] Error on wrong line

[Alexander Kozlovsky]

Hi Arthur!

Good point about documentation, I think we should change it as you said.

Regarding the exception, this is the standard Python behavior. Consider
this example:

x = 10
def func():
    print(x)
    x = 5

func()

If you run this example, you'll get the exception "UnboundLocalError: local
variable 'x' referenced before assignment" in the first line of the
function. This is because when Python parses the program text, it sees "x =
5" assignment and assumes that the x is a local name. It then uses name x
as a local name during all function body, even before "x = 5" line. You
cannot use name x as a global name in the beginning of the function and as
a local name in the end.

See for example:

Alexander
