global name 'thetime' is not defined

[cyberion1985]

Hi,

So I have three files :

1.) File_INIT.py

The main file that will initialize (mostly) everything.
This file contains definitions for functions function_sub_A up to function_sub_B and so on...

2.) File_A.py

contains function FUNCTION_A

3.) File_B.py

contains function FUNCTION_B

This is roughly what File_INIT.py will look like :

#initialize variables and imports
#...
from File_A import FUNCTION_A
from File_B import FUNCTION_B
#...

def function_sub_A():
     #do something

def function_sub_B():
     #do something else

def thetime():
     #do something else

#and so on

FUNCTION_A()
FUNCTION_B()


#do something

My problem is now that I am using thetime inside FUNCTION_B but it tells me that global name 'thetime' is not defined.
I tried using global thetime within FUNCTION_B but that doesn't make any difference. I also tried that in File_INIT.py at the beginning but that also doesn't help. Any idea what I can do to get thetime to be detected in FUNCTION_B ?
