2,644 Points**[SOLVED]** Using PyCharm I'm getting NameError.
Here is my code:
import os
shopping_list = []
def clear_screen():
os.system("cls" if os.name == 'nt' else 'clear')
def show_help():
clear_screen()
print("What should we pick up at the store?")
print("""
Enter 'DONE' to stop adding items.
Enter 'HELP' for this help.
Enter 'SHOW' to see your current list.
""")
def add_to_list(item):
show_list()
if len(shopping_list):
position = input('Where should I add {}?\n'
'Press ENTER to add to the end of the list\n'
"> ".format(item))
else:
position = 0
try:
position = abs(int(position))
except ValueError:
position = None
if position is not None:
shopping_list.insert(position-1, item)
else:
shopping_list.append(new_item)
show_list()
def show_list():
clear_screen()
print("Here's your list:")
index = 1
for item in shopping_list:
print("{}. {}".format(index, item))
index += 1
print("-" * 10)
show_help()
while True:
new_item = input("> ")
if new_item.upper() == 'DONE' or new_item.upper() == 'QUIT':
break
elif new_item.upper() == 'HELP':
show_help()
continue
elif new_item.upper() == 'SHOW':
show_list()
continue
else:
add_to_list(new_item)
show_list()
When I'm running the file on Workspace it works fine but if I try and run it on PyCharm(2018.3.5) on Python 3.7 I get this error:
What should we pick up at the store?
Enter 'DONE' to stop adding items.
Enter 'HELP' for this help.
Enter 'SHOW' to see your current list.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "shopping_list_3.py", line 55, in <module>
new_item = input("> ")
File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'apples' is not defined

Can anyone help with this question?

479 PointsPyCharm seems to "Decay" with time and sort of breaks down and stops working. Always keep it updated and you will be fine.

2,644 PointsUpdate: Nevermind, had the wrong environment in python path. I was still using 2.7 instead of 3.7.1. Got it figured out!
