F821 Undefined name when definition is after usage

[samuelcolvin]

Ruff looks great, congratulations. I'd love to use it one day on pydantic instead of flake8.

---

The following code is valid python and runs fine

def main():
    foo()

def foo():
    print('this is foo')

main()

However ruff returns:

test.py:2:5: F821 Undefined name `foo`

Found 1 error(s).

Running ruff on pydantic's code base is currently returning 151 F821 errors, so it's a fairly common problem.

Thank you! Really flattered by the interest.

This is a legit bug. We have to defer checking function scopes until we've parsed the rest of the module. It's known but unhandled. Gonna use this issue for tracking.

great, thanks so much.
