How can i import a function to other file?

Question

I am trying to use a function from one file in another one so i dont need to be repeating the code.

file.py

def getTrain(data):
    trainList = []
    for list in data:
        for train in list['HorarioDetalhe']:
            trainDict = {}
            trainDict['id'] = train['ID']
            trainDict['origin'] = train['EstacaoOrigem']['Nome']
            trainDict['destiny'] = train['EstacaoDestino']['Nome']
            trainDict['operator'] = train['Operador']['Nome']
            trainDict['status'] = train['EstadoComboio']['Nome']
            trainDict['arrivalTime'] = train['HoraChegada']
            trainList.append(trainDict)
        getDelayedCSV(trainList)
        getDeletedCSV(trainList)

i want to use the getDealayedCSV() and getDeletedCSV() in another file since i want the result of these 2 functions.

if the name of your other file is `foo.py`, just `import foo` then `foo.getDelayedCSV(...)`. This is probably a duplicate — Jean-François Fabre, Aug 16 '19 at 11:09
its not working ... the error is `NameError: name 'trainList' is not defined` — Bruno Teixeira, Aug 16 '19 at 11:31

from myfile import getDealayedCSV or from myfile import getDeletedCSV .

If your file name is myfile.py you just have to write myfile .Then you can call your function normally like getDealayedCSV(trainList)

trainlist was an example variable I used. It seems like you didn't define it in your file where you are importing the function from another file. – Kartikeya Sharma Aug 16 '19 at 11:34
i am using trainList in my **file.py** , i can post the code here ... maybe its because i am not returning trainList? and instead i am calling the function `getDelayedCSV(trainList)` like this? – Bruno Teixeira Aug 16 '19 at 11:37
I think you should post it as a new question now! – Kartikeya Sharma Aug 16 '19 at 11:38
