I am learning Python through LPTHW. There is an exercise where we need to create test scenarios. The following is the code for whom Test Case have to be made:

#############################
#   Sentence Parser         #
#############################

class ParserError(Exception):
    pass

class Sentence(Object):

    def __init__(self, subject, verb, object):
        # remember, we take ('noun','princess') and convert them
        self.subject = subject[1]
        self.verb = verb[1]
        self.object = object[1]

def peek(word_list):
    if word_list:
        word = word_list[0]
        return word[0]

    else:
        return None

def match(word_list, expecting):
    if word_list:
        word = word_list.pop(0)

        if word[0] == expecting:
            return word
        else:
            return None

def skip(word_list, word_type):
    while peek(word_list) == word_type:
        match(word_list, word_type)

def parse_verb(word_list):
    skip(word_list, 'stop')

    if peek(word_list) == 'verb':
        return match(word_list, 'verb')
    else:
        raise ParserError("Expected a verb next.")

def parse_object(word_list):
    skip(word_list, 'stop')
    next == peek(word_list)

    if next == 'noun':
        return match(word_list, 'noun')
    if next == 'direction':
        return match(word_list, 'direction')
    else:
        raise ParserError("Expected a nour or direction next")

def pars_subject(word_list, subj):
    verb = parse_verb(word_list)
    obj = parse_object(word_list)

    return Sentence(subj, verb, obj)


def parse_sentence(word_list):
    skip(word_list, 'stop')

    if start == 'noun':
        subj = match(word_list, 'noun') 
        return parse_subject(word_list, subj)
    elif start == 'verb':
        # assume the subject is a player then
        return parse_subject(word_list,('noun', 'player'))
    else:
raise ParserError("Must start with subject, object, or verb not:%s" % start)

The Following the test script:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

from nose.tools import *
from ex48.lexicon import lexicon
from ex49.ex49 import *

def test_parse_subject():      
    testsentence = "princess go east"     
    result = lexicon.scan(testsentence)     
    Sent = parse_sentence(result)     
    ResultSent = Sentence(('subject', 'princess'),            
                          ('verb', 'go'),                       
                          ('object', 'east'))     
    print ResultSent.subject     
    print ResultSent.verb     
    print ResultSent.object     
    print Sent.subject     
    print Sent.verb     
    print Sent.object     
assert_equal(Sent, ResultSent)

When i run nosetests command to execute this, it gives an error message:

PS C:\Users\rk\projects\parser> nosetests

Object is not defined, maybe it should be object?

yes with object this error gets removed

but still the error is there

The sent variable in test script is not returning any value. This is the cause of error. Any suggestions on this?
