Description

__Steps to reproduce:__
List the minimal actions needed to reproduce the behavior.

1. On the InfluxDB UI, set up python as source.
2. Follow the steps up to _Initialize Client_ and create `write_client = influxdb_client.InfluxDBClient(url=url, token=token, org=org)`
3. On the next page, _Write Data_, use `write_api = client.write_api(write_options=SYNCHRONOUS)`
4. As `client` does not exist (only `write_client` exists), get a `NameError: name 'client' is not defined`

__Expected behavior:__
The python setup works without problems.

__Actual behavior:__
The python setup does not work, as a wrong variable is used.

__Environment info:__

* System info: Linux 6.2.0-1009-raspi aarch64
* InfluxDB version: InfluxDB v2.7.1 (git: 407fa622e9) build_date: 2023-04-28T13:24:42Z
