Trying to clear a list automatically at certain times (guizero)

[Denni]

1) from Library import SpecificFunction --or-- if you actually need the entire library (which is highly unlikely) just import Library

2) No it will not work - BUT - globals are very very bad things

3) Passing stud_dict1 into auto_refresh() as follows auto_refresh(stud_dict1)

Now part of your problem of course is you have a lot of variables so perhaps making this into a class would be better

class studentstuff:
    self.stud_dict1 = {str(row[1]): row[0] for _, row in pd.read_csv('1st hour.csv').iterrows()}
    etc...

    def update_lists():
        if self.cur_per == 1 and self.roster != self.stud_dict1:

-- or basically something to that effect -- aka read up on classes and such
