Python function name ... is not defined

Im doing some python web content requests and I want to make some functions in my code, but there is one error and I dont know why it´s showing. My code looks like this:

def tempRequest(tree, heading):

    page = requests.get("http://10.0.0.3/admin/speedtest.php")
    tree = html.fromstring(page.content)
    heading = tree.xpath('//a[@id="temperature"]/text()')
    return heading, tree

    tempRequest(tree, heading)
    heading = tree.xpath('//a[@id="temperature"]/text()')

    sheet = client.open("Database").sheet1

    sheet.insert_row(heading, 10)
    time.sleep(5)

tempRequest(tree, heading) NameError: name 'tree' is not defined

Could you guys please help me? Thanks.

You have some basic mistakes in your code, it should be like this:

def tempRequest():
    page = requests.get("http://10.0.0.3/admin/speedtest.php")
    tree = html.fromstring(page.content)
    heading = tree.xpath('//a[@id="temperature"]/text()')
    return heading, tree

heading, tree = tempRequest()
sheet = client.open("Database").sheet1

sheet.insert_row(heading, 10)
time.sleep(5)

In your original code you're trying to pass variables to the function before you have defined them in your code. And you're not using your functions return values at all.
