Pyrhon 3 file sharing variable
Pyrhon 3 file sharing variable
I want to import a var from another python file.
This first file runs on the side of file2 on a second window.
File1.py
def onlinecheckext():
global onlinecheckvarr
while 1:
try:
onlinecheckscc = pyautogui.locateOnScreen(imPath("start_detect.png"))
if onlinecheckscc is None:
logging.debug("I am Online")
onlinecheckvarr = True
time.sleep(2)
else:
logging.debug("I am not online")
onlinecheckvarr = False
time.sleep(2)
except:
logging.debug("Online check fail")
return False
File2.py
from file1 import onlinecheckvarr
while onlinecheckvarr is True:
print("TEST")
else:
print("Test2")
Error : NameError: name 'onlinecheckvarr' is not defined.
I have try almost everything and still didn't get it, it's a global var and i imported it right i think but it still throws errors.
onlinecheckext()
onlinecheckvarr
file1.py runs independet in another window, its only genrating values for file2.py, but its not working right i think, the thoughts behind it is that file1.py checks the stuff and if file1.py fails file2.py can jump to another state.

I'd guess, you missunderstood the effect of a global variable. "global" does not mean, that you can grap the variable from "anywhere on your computer", it's only global within the script and is absolutely capsuled from other processes. For your purpose you need to place the variable/values somewhere "public", where both processes can read from (e.g. write to a file), which is not so good, though. A very good solution would be, to have the processes communicate via a socket. Btw: a python file does not do anything, it's the interpreter that executes.

First of all: Did you call
onlinecheckext()
before the invokation of File2.py? Otherwiseonlinecheckvarr
