accessing local variable outside class
#1
Hello,I am doing python code using raspberry pi for calculating body temperature. I want to know how can i access local variable that is declared in one function to the outside function


# Import Libraries
import os
import glob
import time
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
from time import sleep
 
# Initialize the GPIO Pins
os.system('modprobe w1-gpio')  # Turns on the GPIO module
os.system('modprobe w1-therm') # Turns on the Temperature module
 
# Finds the correct device file that holds the temperature data
base_dir = '/sys/bus/w1/devices/'
device_folder = glob.glob(base_dir + '28*')[0]
device_file = device_folder + '/w1_slave'
 
# A function that reads the sensors data
def read_temp_raw():
  f = open(device_file, 'r') # Opens the temperature device file
  lines = f.readlines() # Returns the text
  f.close()
  return lines
 
# Convert the value of the sensor into a temperature
def read_temp():
  lines = read_temp_raw() # Read the temperature 'device file'
  # While the first line does not contain 'YES', wait for 0.2s
  # and then read the device file again.
  while lines[0].strip()[-3:] != 'YES':
    time.sleep(0.1)
    lines = read_temp_raw()
 
  # Look for the position of the '=' in the second line of the
  # device file.
  equals_pos = lines[1].find('t=')
 
  # If the '=' is found, convert the rest of the line after the
  # '=' into degrees Celsius, then degrees Fahrenheit
  if equals_pos != -1:
    temp_string = lines[1][equals_pos+2:]
    temp_c = float(temp_string) / 1000.0
    temp_f = temp_c * 9.0 / 5.0 + 32.0
    return temp_c, temp_f

print(read_temp())
 
read_temp()
if temp_c >=20 and temp_f >=75:
        GPIO.setwarnings(False)
        #Select GPIO mode
        GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
          #Set buzzer - pin 23 as output
        buzzer=23 
        GPIO.setup(buzzer,GPIO.OUT)
        GPIO.output(buzzer,GPIO.HIGH)
        print("Beep")

# Print out the temperature until the program is stopped.
#while True:
  #print(read_temp())
  #time.sleep(9)
