raspberry pi in a python script

[Raysz]

Hey everyone
so I have this simple function for my raspberry pi
and I made a python file it does work

from gpiozero import LED
from gpiozero.pins.pigpio import PiGPIOFactory

# this IEP address is assigned to raspberry pi
factory = PiGPIOFactory(host='pi's IP address')
Switch_1 = LED(18, pin_factory=factory)
Switch_2 = LED(23, pin_factory=factory)
Switch_3 = LED(24, pin_factory=factory)


Switch_1.on()
Switch_2.on()
Switch_3.on()

But the problem I'm running into
I tried to merge it into another python file
and put it under a function which I called
def raspberry_pi():
but for whatever reason it doesn't work I'm having a hard time understanding why

Under that function I can call the file and it will work
I just can't put everything under the function I don't understand what's going on

Has anyone ran into this problem

You should post the code for the other python file. The one that makes this script into a function. The one that has the problem you are asking about.

Agree. Did you indent the existing code in your function definition?

the code does work independently by itself
so there's no reason it should not work the same when I place it in a function
but it doesn't
if you know the reason please explain it to me

[deanhystad]

The reason it doesn't work is because you introduced errors changing the code from a script to a function. This is not only possible, but highly likely. Indenting your script and putting def func(): in front of it usually doesn't result in runnable code. Please post the code that doesn't run, including code that calls the new function. There are too many ways to mess this up for me to guess which one(s) you chose.

Again agree, please post the code that does not work. Posting code that does work is not something we can help with!
