Question

This is the way i call a .py file within a folder from a .pyw file outside, i am able to do that successfully, but want to know how can i pass variable from this .pyw file to the .py file within a folder.

if int(verfyUser) == int(Username):
     path = self.application.applicationDirectory
     name = "User_UI"
     path = os.path.join(self.application.applicationDirectory, name)
     if os.path.exists(os.path.join(path, name + ".pyw")):
         filename =  os.path.join(path, name + ".pyw")
     else:
         filename = os.path.join(path, name + ".py")
     args = []
     if ' ' in filename:
        filename = '"' + filename + '"'
     python = sys.executable
     self.close()
     if ' ' in python:
          pythonQuoted = '"' + python + '"'
     else:
      pythonQuoted = python
     os.spawnv(os.P_NOWAIT, python, [pythonQuoted, filename] + args)

i tried to pass the variables in args[], but that’s not the way. Please to help me.
Want to find a way to pass the variable from .pyw to the calling py file.
Hope i am clear…..

How do you want to pass the variables? Just the values? In that case your approach seems good: you can call the other Python script with the values as command-line arguments. Your other script should then parse the command-line arguments that it has received and utilize them in the code.

But, just to be sure, you cannot write variable = 3 in the current script, then spawn a separate Python script and then use variable right away somehow.
