Anyway, it's difficult to help unless you post the whole code and tell us precisely what you want to achieve.

I think you are mixing up local and global variables, but please post your whole code so we can see what's going wrong.

I thought it was a PythonCaller problem actually. Maybe I misunderstood.

I thought it was a PythonCaller problem actually. Maybe I misunderstood.

 

The way the PythonCaller works is pretty simple and it is coherent with the way Python (and most OOP languagues) work in this type of pattern:

 

 

• Before the first feature arrives: call __init__() once
• For each feature: call input() once per feature
• After the last feature has passed: call close() once

You may want to read up a bit on Python objects and particulary on scope, e.g. here. I agree with @verdoodtdries that it looks like a scoping error.

 

 

I do not quite understand what you really want to achieve, but I suspect you want to make myAnswerField an object instance variable (rather than a local variable, as it is now). You can do this by initalizing myAnswerField in __init__() and prefixing it with "self." whenever you reference it.

 

 

As it is you are effectively resetting (redefining) myAnswerField for every incoming feature, that may not be what you want?

Ok, I understand. And you both are right for intention in this context. I'll try. Thanks.

Ok, it's seems that I should have just one feature in the input instead of 2. A colleague of mine helped me on that. So problem solved.

 

Thanks anyway. I have a better understanding of the PythonCller thanks to you.
