How to call one python script and use its output in another python script

[lravikumarvsp]

Hi,

I have two python scripts and I want to call 1st python script and use the output of this script in another python script.

For example:
I have two python scripts t1.py and t2.py

t1.py

a = 9
print a

t2.py

import t1
b = str(a)
print b

When I ran python t2.py, it is resulting in the output of t1.py and getting the below error:
9
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "t2.py", line 2, in <module>
b = str(a)
NameError: name 'a' is not defined

Please help

write t2 this way:

import t1

b = str(t1.a)
print(b)

As an FYI, you should refrain from using single letter variables and use something meaningful instead.
And if you are just starting, you should start off with the latest version (3.6.5) of python.

In addition to Larz60+ advice - you may want to change t1.py as

a = 9
if __name__ == '__main__':
    print a

this way it will not execute the print statement in t1.py when you import it, yet you will access a in t2.py
