Variables not working... or i'm missing something?

I am trying to make some edits to a docx file... making a number into letter (i.e. if the variable is equal to 01 = 'one', equal to 02 = 'two', and so on, but in Spanish). The problem is that the variable f_dia_nom doesn't work ... it doesn't even print anything... am I doing something wrong?? or am I missing something??

#!/usr/bin/env python2.6

from Tkinter import *
from docx import *
import tkMessageBox

root = Tk()

nombre = ""
exp_no = ""
ubic = ""
munic = ""
prov = ""
f_dia = ""
f_dia2 = ""
f_dia_nom = ""

def nombre_dia():
         if f_dia2 == 1 or f_dia2 == 01:        
             f_dia_nom = "Un"
         elif f_dia2 == 2 or f_dia2 == 02:               
             f_dia_nom  =  "Dos"
         elif f_dia2 == 3 or f_dia2 == 03:        
             f_dia_nom = "Tres"
         elif f_dia2 == 4 or f_dia2 == 04:               
             f_dia_nom = "Cuatro"
         elif f_dia2 == 5 or f_dia2 == 05:               
             f_dia_nom = "Cinco"
         elif f_dia2 == 6 or f_dia2 == 06:        
             f_dia_nom = "Seis"
         elif f_dia2 == 7 or f_dia2 == 07:               
             f_dia_nom = "Siete"             
         else:
             f_dia_nom = "Error"

             print 'Replacing ...',
             docbody = replace(docbody,'V_EXP',en1.get())

f_dia_nom is a global variable, which is not really a great start. If you want to manipulate it, pass f_dia2 to the function nombre_dia() as an argument and then return f_dia_nom from the function afterward.

def nombre_dia(f_dia2):
         if f_dia2 == 1 or f_dia2 == 01:        
             f_dia_nom = "Un"
         elif f_dia2 == 2 or f_dia2 == 02:               
             f_dia_nom  =  "Dos"
         elif f_dia2 == 3 or f_dia2 == 03:        
             f_dia_nom = "Tres"
         elif f_dia2 == 4 or f_dia2 == 04:               
             f_dia_nom = "Cuatro"
         elif f_dia2 == 5 or f_dia2 == 05:               
             f_dia_nom = "Cinco"
         elif f_dia2 == 6 or f_dia2 == 06:        
             f_dia_nom = "Seis"
         elif f_dia2 == 7 or f_dia2 == 07:               
             f_dia_nom = "Siete"             
         else:
             f_dia_nom = "Error"

         return f_dia_nom

if __name__ == '__main__':
    # All your other code...
    f_dia_nom = nombre_dia(f_dia2)
    print 'f_dia_nom =', f_dia_nom
    docbody = replace(docbody,'V_NOM_DIA',f_dia_nom)
    print 'done.'

Look up 'global scoping' rules for python. In general, try to avoid global variables as much as possible(if only to avoid errors like these)

in nombre_dia():

f_dia_nom = "Un" 

or any other assignment for that matter has the python compiler create that number LOCAL to the nombre_dia function.

modify your function to declare f_dia_nom as a global:

def nombra_dia():
   global f_dia_nom

   ...

It will have nombre_dia SEE the f_dia_nom as the global

Difficult to see exactly what's supposed to be going on in your code, but a few points:

  1. You're printing the string 'f_dia_nom' rather than the variable f_dia_nom

  2. You can't change global variables from inside a function without using global <variable> first

  3. No need to check against 1 and 01 (etc.) since 1 == 01

  4. You don't seem to be setting/creating f_dia2 anywhere...

Get rid of if __name__ == '__main__': That is testing whether or not you are in the main module. (The one you specifically asked to run). I'm guessing that you aren't.

if __name__ == '__main__' only makes sense if you are on the module level (outside of any functions, so you can detect if you are being run or being imported.)
