using variable from one module class in another module class

#1

hi there,

I’m trying to organise my big script into a package, breaking different functions into their own modules.

I have a GUI module which contains a class that runs my interface and stores user input. This user input is stored in variables, and then with a button the user can trigger the main module which has its own class that needs to use the user input variables to run.

my question is how can i use a variable created in a class in one module and use it in a class in another module?

(Im trying to figure out if i actually need a class for some of the modules. But i think there are internal variables that need to see each other.)

thanks,
Sam

Well, the obvious way would be to use the variable in the constructor of the other class, or let the methods explicitly use arguments:

import anotherModule as am

class GUIClass:
    def __init__():
         self.theOtherClass = am()

    def buttonPressed(self, whichButton):
         self.theOtherClass.doSomething(whichButton)
           ...

But I think you only need a class if you have to store informations during the usage of the class, maybe simple functions are enough.
