Passing value from input() to another python script

I'm trying to pass a username and password input() variables from a master script to a different script. However, when the next script runs it asks me for the input() again rather than passing through the string value.

MasterScript.py

Username = input('Enter Username: ') 
Password = input('Enter Password: ') 

print('Running First Section')
import Firstsection

SectionOne.py

import cx_Oracle
from MasterScript import (Username, Password)

connection = cx_Oracle.connect(Username, Password, "myurl.co.uk:1234 /abcd1")

Once section one is called via the MasterScript.py it asks me for the username and password again, any ideas?

Thanks.

What kind of OS are you running? In linux you can do it via `piping`. Or you can create a simple socket/rest controller for receiving data. – Laszlowaty Oct 30 '17 at 10:25

Hmmm seems quite complex I'll try and give it a go. Shame there isn't a more simple process, I'll get back to you. – Ryan Davies Oct 31 '17 at 09:41
