WinPython: NameError: name 'time' is not defined only inside a function

问题

I'm using WinPython to run my python program using a pendrive. But when i try to run an imported function inside a function i created, i receave the following error: NameError: name 'time' is not defined (it happens with any imported module)

Here an example that works fine:

import time
time.sleep(0.5)

Here an exemple that doesn't work:

import time
def waitLoad():
    time.sleep(0.2)
waitLoad()

I receive the following error executing the example above:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "E:\WinPython\python-3.6.5.amd64\lib\runpy.py", line 193, in _run_module_as_main
    "__main__", mod_spec)
  File "E:\WinPython\python-3.6.5.amd64\lib\runpy.py", line 85, in _run_code
    exec(code, run_globals)
  File "E:\WinPython\python-3.6.5.amd64\scripts\ptpython.exe\__main__.py", line 9, in <module>
  File "E:\WinPython\python-3.6.5.amd64\lib\site-packages\ptpython\entry_points\run_ptpython.py", line 55, in run
    six.exec_(compile(open(a['<arg>'][0], "rb").read(), a['<arg>'][0], 'exec'))
  File "../testeMouse.py", line 4, in <module>
    waitLoad()
  File "../testeMouse.py", line 3, in waitLoad
    time.sleep(0.2)
NameError: name 'time' is not defined

If i execute the same program using the python interpreter installed in my computer, the program works fine. But I need to execute it using the python interpreter installed in my pendrive.

回答1:

The problem was solved by executing the program using spyder.exe (IDE included in WinPython). It wasn't working before because i was trying to execute the program directly by the python intepreter installed on my pendrive.

Thanks to the user @roganjosh that helped me figure it out.
