python undefined variable

Why the variable freq is not defined in the method update? I am calling the method candle on init and this method contains freq?

class candle:
    def __init__(self):
        self.freq = None
        self.open_price = None
        self.high_price = None
        self.low_price = None
        self.last_price = None
        self.volume = 0

    def addTick(self,tick):
        if self.open_price is None:
            self.open_price = tick.price
        if self.high_price is None or tick.price >self.high_price:
            self.high_price = tick.price
        if self.low_price is None or tick.price <self.low_price:
            self.low_price = tick.price   
        self.last_price = tick.price
        self.volume = self.volume +1


    def update(self,tick):
        self.candle.addTick(tick)
        if keyfunc(current_time,freq) != reference_timestamp[freq]:
            self.notify(self.candle)
            self.candle = candle()

You're trying to access a local variable (which is not defined in that scope) instead of class instance attribute. Try self.freq instead of freq.

There is no implicit self in Python, you must be explicit when accessing member variables.

if keyfunc(current_time,freq) != reference_timestamp[freq]:

should be

if keyfunc(current_time, self.freq) != reference_timestamp[self.freq]:

not sure where reference_timestamp is defined, assuming it's global.
