Question

That’s one.py:

test = {'1': [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25]}
import two
two.example()

And that’s two.py:

def example():
    print test[1][5]

Can you tell me why this will fail with the following error?

NameError: global name 'test' is not defined

Thanks!

Answer 1

You can import it in the function

def example():
    from one import test
    print test[1][5]

Or you can pass test in as a variable

#one.py
two.example(test)

#two.py
def example(test):
    print test[1][5]
