I have a two python files I am working with.

In cryp.py I have:

def test():
    test = raw_input("> ")

In cryptek.py I have:

import cryp
What is your name?
cryp.test
print "To be sure your name is: " + test

It errrs out as "test is not defined" How do I make it get the test variable from cryp.py?

(I have Python 3.6.1) So i solved it but not exactly as you asked. Hopefully this gives you a start:

cryptek:

from cryp import *
print("To be sure your name is: " + test)

cryp:

name = input ("> ")
def test():
    pass
test()

Works perfect. The issue is where the definitions come in.

Do you need this to work with definitions?

    I've tried that gmons, it still gives me "test isn't defined" I use import cryp already – TheCryptek Apr 12 '17 at 17:07

    No it didn't actually. I looked at that before posting this question, as it is technically one of the rules. – TheCryptek Apr 12 '17 at 17:28
  • Got it. I am going to help you solve this, but it may take until the end of the day as I am at work right now. – gmonz Apr 12 '17 at 17:33

    It usually takes a bit to solve issues when coding either way, so I usually take my time, no hurry :P – TheCryptek Apr 12 '17 at 17:33
  • gomz test needs to be input by the user test = raw_input("> ") – TheCryptek Apr 14 '17 at 03:16
  • @TheCryptek ever figure it out? – gmonz Apr 20 '17 at 01:04

There are multiple problems here. You added the import statement. The test() function needs to return something. If not, it will return None. Also, cryp.test is a function object, while cryp.test() is a call to the function.

The error message that is not in the question tells about this.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "cryptek.py", line 4, in <module>
    print "To be sure your name is: " + cryp.test()
TypeError: cannot concatenate 'str' and 'NoneType' objects

cryp.py

def test():
    test = raw_input("> ")
    return test

cryptek.py

import cryp
print "What is your name?"
cryp.test
print "To be sure your name is: " + cryp.test()

C:>python cryptek.py
What is your name?
> asdf
To be sure your name is: asdf

  • After adding this, it is now prompting me with test = raw_input("> ") twice, meaning I have to enter a name twice before it continues on ._. – TheCryptek Apr 12 '17 at 17:30
  • That isn't my error... here is my error ` Traceback (most recent call last): File "cryptek.py", line 4, in print "\nTo be sure, your name is: " + name NameError: name 'name' is not defined ` – TheCryptek Apr 12 '17 at 17:32
  • @TheCryptek - Sorry, yes, you had that error message. The `cannot concatenate` message is the one you would get next, until `()` was added to `test` to make it a function call. – lit Apr 12 '17 at 17:35
  • I have it as cryp.test() – TheCryptek Apr 12 '17 at 17:37
  • I'm not worried about the cannot concatenate error, that I can fix easily, right now I'm trying to solve my current easy, pulling test from cryp.py – TheCryptek Apr 12 '17 at 17:37
  • I have, but then I get greeted by two prompts to enter a name, when you should only be asked once ._. run it to see what I'm talking about. – TheCryptek Apr 12 '17 at 17:41
