UnboundLocalError where the unassigned variable is a function

Bug report

Bug description:

It gives this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\calev\Documents\solitaire.py", line 198, in <module>
    move()
  File "C:\Users\calev\Documents\solitaire.py", line 90, in move
    tmr = int(tmr)
UnboundLocalError: cannot access local variable 'int' where it is not associated with a value

I haven't been able to replicate this and I think the whole code is too long to include in this report, so I've linked to it here, answer "M" and then anything to get the error. This happens to all uses of int() in the move() function, and it keeps happening even when I rename or move it.
I'm on Windows 11

CPython versions tested on:

3.12, 3.13

Operating systems tested on:

Windows

Please don't use this issue tracker to debug problems with your script.

The error is that you use int as a local variable in the function and intent to call the global int at other places in the same function.

I've fixed it by adding global int to the function. Still, I've never needed to do that before and I'm not sure how I was using int as a variable

Your issue is that you did

    try:
        int = int(de)  # here you're shadowing the int() function!
    except:
        if de == "C" or de == "c":
            cancel = True

So you're re-assigning the int built-in. You should use another variable name.
