How to call a variable declared in a function in another python script

[lravikumarvsp]

Hi,

I had two python scripts r1.py and r2.py
In r1.py I used a variable named "test" in a function and I want to use this in r2.py.
I tried but not able to get it.
Please help

r1.py

test = 10
def f1():
	global test
	test = test + 100

r2.py

import r1
a = test + 100
print a

output: When I ran python r2.py

Output:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "r2.py", line 2, in <module>
    a = test + 100
NameError: name 'test' is not defined

in r2.py
change:

a = test + 100

to:

a = r1.test + 100

It's better to do this without use of globals.
In addition, you should use meaningful names, not single letters.

Hi Larz,

Thanks and my problem is that I want to use the variable declared in a function in another python script.
I am able to call the variables declared globally.

r1.py

def f1():
    test = 100

r2.py

import r1
a = r1.test
print a

here in r1.py I declared a variable "test" and I want to use this in r2.py

You could do this better by using a class:

r1.py

class r1:
    def __init__(self):
        self.test = None

    def f1(self):
        self.test = 100

r2.py

import r1

# create instance of r1
myr1 = r1.r1()

# execute r1 function f1
myr1.f1()

# Create new variable a which is equal to myr1.test
a = myr1.test + 100
print(a)

results:

Output:
200
