I can't quite figure out what you're asking.
new_passengers_curr_customers is a variable local to
create_edit_passengers3; you have something that differs only in case
called New_Passengers_Curr_Customers which -- I assume is defined,
somewhere. Then you haev New_Passenger, and I'm not sure I see what it
has to do with anything.

But what does "cannot be called" mean? "Cannot" usually means "an error
happened" -- in which case you shouldn't really even mention it unless
you're gonna back it up with a traceback.

The former is a value, you don't call it. You access it. And it being
local, you can surely only access it within that function (unless you
pass it somewhere). The latter is -- a class? A function? No idea, as
you haven't shown us. Nor shown any errors or any tracebacks or
*anything* to indicate what is possibly going on, let alone what is
going wrong when you, I presume, attempt to "call .. something .. from
the calling script". (???)

So either way... cannot be called?

+1 for "absolutely worst framed question of the day" :)
