python - Calling a Function within a secondary Function, or calling a Function defined within a larger Function -

-

i'm trying use python create small program, show current prices of theoretical portfolio, , offer option refresh portfolio, or new quote of choice.

i can work in program, problem i'm having defined functions.

if @ run_price1(), you'll notice identical of run_price(); run_price() located within update function.

if take out of update function, update function doesn't work. if don't list somewhere outside of update function, later user input doesn't work.

the question: looking either way call function defined within function, or way use defined function inside of secondary function.

my code:

import mechanize  bs4 import beautifulsoup   def run_price1():      mybrowser = mechanize.browser()     htmlpage=mybrowser.open(web_address)     htmltext=htmlpage.get_data()     mysoup = beautifulsoup(htmltext)      mytags = mysoup.find_all("span", id=tag_id)      myprice = mytags[0].string      print"the current price of, {} is: {}".format(ticker.upper(), myprice)    def update():      my_stocks = ["aapl","goog","sne","msft","spy","trgt","petm","fslr","fb","f","t"]      counter = 0      while counter < len(my_stocks):          web_address = "http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s={}".format(my_stocks[counter])         ticker = my_stocks[counter]         #'yfs_l84_yhoo' - 1(one) lowercase "l"         tag_id = "yfs_l84_{}".format(ticker.lower())         def run_price():              mybrowser = mechanize.browser()             htmlpage=mybrowser.open(web_address)             htmltext=htmlpage.get_data()             mysoup = beautifulsoup(htmltext)              mytags = mysoup.find_all("span", id=tag_id)             myprice = mytags[0].string             print"the current price of, {} is: {}".format(ticker.upper(), myprice)          run_price()          counter=counter+1  update()          ticker = ""  while ticker != "end":      ticker = raw_input("type 'update', rerun portfolio, 'end' stop program, or lowercase ticker see price: ")     web_address = "http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s={}".format(ticker.lower())     tag_id = "yfs_l84_{}".format(ticker.lower())      if ticker == "end":         print"good bye"      elif ticker == "update":         update()      else:         run_price1()

you can call run_price1() update() function, call run_price.

functions defined @ top of module global in module, other functions can refer name , call them.

any value function needs does need passed in argument:

def run_price1(web_address, tag_id):     # ...  def update():     my_stocks = ["aapl","goog","sne","msft","spy","trgt","petm","fslr","fb","f","t"]      counter = 0      while counter < len(my_stocks):          web_address = "http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s={}".format(my_stocks[counter])         ticker = my_stocks[counter]         #'yfs_l84_yhoo' - 1(one) lowercase "l"         tag_id = "yfs_l84_{}".format(ticker.lower())          run_price1(web_address, tag_id)          counter=counter+1
