Assignments to 'for' loop or 'with' statement parameter

Last modified: 03 December 2024

Reports the cases when you rewrite a loop variable with an inner loop.

Example:

for i in range(5):
  for i in range(20, 25):
      print("Inner", i)
  print("Outer", i)

It also warns you if a variable declared in the with statement is redeclared inside the statement body: 

with open("file") as f:
  f.read()
  with open("file") as f:
