import * is not allowed ??

[stef mientki]

hello,

can anyone explain a little bit more what this error message means:

import * is not allowed in function 'JAL_MAIN_RUN' because it contains
a nested function with free variables (JAL_simulation_file.py, line 22)

what are "free variables" ?

thanks,
Stef Mientki
