Call a variable

[jmf08]

Instead of calling a variable , the whole method is being called. Is there something I need to change to call only the variable 'add'?
I just want to use the variable 'add' to module3. tia


module2.py

    def meth22():
  #      self.add = add
        add = input('What plan do you want to add?\n')
        return add

#add

module3.py

import pickle
from module2 import cmod2
plannerlist = []

class cmod3:
    def meth31():
        planner = []
        add = cmod2.meth22()
        planner.append(add)
        plannerlist.append(planner)
        pickle.dump(plannerlist, open('pl','wb'))
        print('Your plan:')
        for planner in plannerlist:
            print(*planner)
        return  planner
    #return plannerlist

    #      print(pl)
#show
