I don't know how explain what I want do so I think with code example you can understand.

y.py 

y = 0

import printy

printy.py

import y

print y

NameError: name 'y' is not defined

When I call scripts with import works perfect but I want to know how I can share variables.

y.py 

import printy

printy.py

y = 0

print y

result = 0

    try: `import printy; print printy.y` or `from printy import y; print y`. – hiro protagonist Jul 31 '15 at 11:40

    It's generally **not** a good idea to have two modules that import each other, so try to avoid that if you can. Do a search for "circular imports" for more info. – PM 2Ring Jul 31 '15 at 11:56

I don't know which is which file, (assuming each code block is a different file) it should work, and share variables if importing them works. Also, I would write it like this:

file y.py:

from printy import *

y = 0

file printy.py:

from y import *

print y

Also, both files have to already exist at time of running, and they have to saved into the same folder.

EDIT: If result = 0 is the output, then everything is working fine. Also, if this doesn't work, I'd do printy.print(y)

  • Also, if you want to do more complex code, it will work best to save the code, in file being retrieved, in a `function`. – Slass33 Aug 03 '15 at 01:16
