Python reading variable in another py file wrongly

[_vertig0]

This is a scope problem and has nothing to do event_request being in another file. You would have the same probem if this were all in one file.

The problem is you have two exit_request variables. One in events and one in events.update_events. If you want these to reference the same thing you need to rewrite update_events like this:

def update_events():
    global exit_request
    for event in pygame.event.get():
        if(event.type == pygame.QUIT):
            exit_request = event

This tells Python to use events.exit_request instead of creating events.update_events.exit_request when you do this:

exit_request = event

By default assignment inside a function creates a new variable. If this were not the case there would be no way to make "local" variables. To prevent this from happening you need to define the variable as "global".

THANK YOU SO MUCH! IT WORKED!!!
