Function executing twice

Python Help

I have a function that takes an array as a parameter and displays just the first value of the array. But in my console, it displays twice. Here is the function

    def add_annotation(self, data_array, fig):
        
        if fig is not None:
            x_pos = data_array[0]['min'][0]
            y_pos = data_array[0]['min'][2]
            ps = float(data_array[0]['ps'])
            mds = float(data_array[0]['mds'])
            hill = data_array[0]['id']
            annotation_text = f"{hill} <br> PS: {ps:.2f} <br> MDS: {mds:.2f}"
            
            print(x_pos, y_pos)
            fig.add_annotation(
                x=x_pos,
                y=y_pos,
                xref="x",
                yref="y",
                text=annotation_text,
                showarrow=True,
                font=dict(family="Courier New, monospace", size=16, color="#FFFFFF"),
                align="center",
                arrowhead=2,
                arrowsize=1,
                arrowwidth=2,
                arrowcolor="red",
                ax=50,
                ay=-90,
                bgcolor="black",
            )

And here is my output

Please any idea of what is happening?

You have not provided any of the code that calls that function which is where the problem is I assume.

However I know how you can find out. Using the traceback module you can
get a stack trace each time your function is called from that you can see
where in your code the 2 calls come from.

Add the following to add_annotation.

def add_annotation(self, data_array, fig):
    import traceback
    traceback.print_stack()

Thanks @barry-scott when I use the traceback, here is the output in my console

Please don’t post screenshots.

The output would be clearer if you wrapped the output of print_stack() with some kind of marker:

print('*** BEGIN STACK ***')
traceback.print_stack()
print('*** BEGIN STACK ***')

From the output you provided I can see:

  1. run calls process_files … which calls add_annotation.

  2. run calls process_folder which calls process_files … which calls add_annotation.
