Accessing python class member inside methods -

this code

class mine:     def __init__(self):         var = "hello"     def mfx(self):         var += "a method called"         print var      me = mine() 

when callme.mfx() gives following error

>>> me.mfx()  traceback (most recent call last):   file "<pyshell#1>", line 1, in <module>     me.mfx()   file "d:\more\pythonnnn\text.py", line 5, in mfx     var += "a method called" unboundlocalerror: local variable 'var' referenced before assignment >>> 

i need var use inside class. don't want self.var . why happening? how can make variable can used everywhere inside class. using python2.7

you should qualify var. (self.var instead of var)

class mine:     def __init__(self):         self.var = "hello"     def mfx(self):         self.var += "a method called"         print self.var  me = mine() me.mfx()
