python - NameError: name '<CLASS NAME>' is not defined issue

Question

i am working on a python car project and i used the class function so i can store a lot of variables in one ,but my class variable doesnt get sent/printed when i try it says NameError: name 'p1' is not defined . i used to have another problem which led me to a attribute error i found the problem and fixed it , turns out that i made another variable with the same name.

BTW the problem is in the p1 variable and the p0 variable

this is the code

# IMPORT DISCORD.PY. ALLOWS ACCESS TO DISCORD'S API.
import discord

# IMPORT THE OS MODULE.
import os
import random
import time
# IMPORT COMMANDS FROM THE DISCORD.EXT MODULE.
from discord.ext import commands

Answer 1

You didn't define p1, well you defined it, but in a function, so it's a local variable, not global

# Don't define it in any command
p1 = user('imaad', 'd', 'd', 5, 5, 2, 2, 2, 2,2 ,2)

@bot.command()
async def test1(ctx):
    await ctx.send(p1.name)

Also I don't understand your inconsistency, in one command you're using ctx as the argument, in others message. discord.py doesn't work like that, it always passes a commands.Context instance as the first argument, hence the ctx.
