Python passing variable values via import

Question

I want to use a variable that I assigned in another file, is there a way that the import of that variable from that file will maintain the value of the variable?

• Maroun: from my_file import my_variable?
• suhailvs: yes. for example if a variable x in a file say test.py, you can import it in another file like import test, test.x

Answer 1

If you define a variable my_variable in a module called my_module.py and it has been initialized, you can access to it from another module:

from my_module import my_variable

You can also do:

import my_module
...
my_module.my_variable

but I recommend the first option if you only need that variable from my_module.py

Answer 2

If a file ham.py contains:

eggs = 1

Then in spam.py you can say:

from ham import eggs
print eggs

Or:

import ham
print ham.eggs
