I created a GUI using tkinter having nine different classes and all classes are in one one script file. I'm getting issue when trying to use one variable define in one class function of a file and used in another file of a class but getting error like not able to import or global variable not define
I tried all ways to import module such as
Import X, from X import *, from X import X, from X import a,b,c and X = __import__()
Any solution to this issue will be appreciated
show code.
You need to instantiate (in the second file) the class that you want to get information from (in the first file).
pseudo example:

import X

# ... 
class myClass:
    def __init__(self):
        xinstance = X.xclassname(args)
        my value = xinstance.value
replace xinstcane with your name, and xclassname with name of class in X, and replace args with any values needed by x class.
note this is a new instance of X, so independent for any other instances of same class.
I want to use ser(Serial communication) which is define in Testing.py file. The code for the same is mentioned below. Whaatever you mentioned above i tired but getting error for that also. Posting my code below

The error which i recieved is
Error:

the third line of this sequence is the culprit:
    def __init__(self, child):
        Tkinter.Frame.__init__(self, child)
        autotest = Testing.TestingPage()
The first error message doesn't seem to be complete. Did you post the whole error?
There should be more that explains what the issue is.
somewhere in the __init__ method of AutomationTestingPage_ITOM class you need to define ser
(self.ser = whatever)
then when referencing ser in other methods use self.ser
example in data_tx method,
def data_tx(self):
        element = [0x4D, 0x08, 0xFF, 0x06, 0x1A, 0x52]
        data = bytearray(element)
        self.ser.write(data)
        receivedata = (self.ser.read(7))
        data1 = binascii.b2a_hex(receivedata)
        data2 = ord(receivedata[6])
        return data2
The above mentioned things i tried as you mentioned previously in the comment.
Actually ser is define in Testing.py class where i'm selecting the serial port and baud rate and same variable i want to use in AutomationTesting.py file particularly in data function to write the data using serial port. But while compiling the script i'm getting error at that particular line in ser.write.
Error:
Exception in Tkinter callback Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Python27\lib\lib-tk\Tkinter.py", line 1541, in __call__ return self.func(*args) File "D:\PyCharm\Main_Project_75F\Separate_GUI_Class\AutomationTesting_ITOM.py", line 176, in clicked self.txt1.insert(END, self.data_tx()) File "D:\PyCharm\Main_Project_75F\Separate_GUI_Class\AutomationTesting_ITOM.py", line 168, in data_tx ser.write(data) AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'write'
do you mean here:
#from Testing import ser
Not that it's commented out, so never imported
If uncommented also its showing error that can't import ser
then it needs to be installed, or check docs (may be serial or some other spelling)
Serial port was working in other one so i don't think serial port issue
what was other one?
did it use the same serial package?
And I assume that it was running on same computer and was python script, is that correct?
the error is on the method write, and I don't see that command in the testing package (if I have the right one), please look at this and verify it's the correct package: https://pythonhosted.org/testing/#introduction
If so, look at available methods.
