Question

I investigated that scope of global variables in python is limited to the module. But I need the scope to be global among different modules. Is there such a thing? I played around __builtin__ but no luck.

thanks in advance!

Answer 1

You can access global variables from other modules by importing them explicitly.

In module foo:

  joe = 5

In module bar:

  from foo import joe
  print joe

Note that this isn’t recommended, though. It’s much better to hide access to a module’s variables by using functions.
