How to fix 'NameError' name 'xxx' is not defined

Hi,

While running a python recipe for generating 2 output datasets, getting an error :

<class 'NameError'>: name 'ptk_ddd_df' is not defined 

in #Write recipe outputs, in this line ptk_ddd.write_with_schema(ptk_ddd_df):

# Write recipe outputs
ptk_ddd = dataiku.Dataset("PTK_DDD")

ptk_ddd.write_with_schema(ptk_ddd_df)

dtd_ptk = dataiku.Dataset("DTD_PTK")
dtd_ptk.write_with_schema(dtd_ptk_df)

 

Kindly suggest.

Thanks,

Parul.

Hello,

That error is thrown by the Python interpreter, letting you know that ptk_ddd_df has not been previously defined before using it. You are supposed to implement the logic in Python that populates a Pandas dataframe (the variable you are missing, in this case) that is then written to the dataset. This is what the boilerplate code looks like for a Python recipe writing to two output datasets (a and b) should look like:

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
import dataiku
import pandas as pd, numpy as np
from dataiku import pandasutils as pdu

# Compute recipe outputs
# TODO: Write here your actual code that computes the outputs
# NB: DSS supports several kinds of APIs for reading and writing data. Please see doc.

# It is up to you to implement the logic below that will create pandas dataframes (a_df and b_df) that will then be written to the dataset
a_df = ... # Compute a Pandas dataframe to write into a
b_df = ... # Compute a Pandas dataframe to write into b

# Write recipe outputs
a = dataiku.Dataset("a")
a.write_with_schema(a_df)
b = dataiku.Dataset("b")
b.write_with_schema(b_df)

 I hope that clarifies it. If you still need help, please share your entire recipe code so that we can inspect it.
