global name 'completion_name_regex' is not defined

[tjnichols]

I'm very new to Python. I've studied a lot of books but putting all of it into practice is taxing to me. Any help you can provide is much appreciated!

When I run this...

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import requests
import re
import urllib
import zipfile
import os

apis = ["49025219260000",
"49025059260000",
"49025206640000",
"49025203350000",
"49025213300000",
"49025061090000",
"49025062840000",
]


def wogcc_completions_scraper():

    x = 0

    while x < len(apis):

        wogcc_url = """http://wogcc.state.wy.us/wyocompletions.cfm?nApino=""" + str(apis[x][3:10])

        print (apis[x])

        print str(apis[x][3:10])

        las_only = [] 
    
        wogcc_request = requests.get(wogcc_url)

        soup = BeautifulSoup(wogcc_request.content, "html.parser")

        href_tags = soup.find_all('a')

    ### This section of code will data scrape the WOGCC for the completion reports

        completion_regex = """<td align="left" bgcolor="white" nowrap="" valign="Middle" width="450"><strong><font size="1">(.+?)</font></strong></td>""" 

        completion_pattern = re.compile(completion_name_regex) 

        completion_file = re.findall(completion_name_pattern, str(soup)) 

        CNF = completion_name_file 

I get this...

Traceback (most recent call last):
