Access to variable from external imported module

[GinTon]

How to access to a variable (that value is not returned) from a module
imported?
And the variable is set at the module-level.

That module is external to my program, it's from another project so I
wann't modifying it.

Sorry, I mean access to local variable from a method

import module

I would to access to values that are created locally in that method

or you want to get all local variables, then make a func/method

def f(a=1):
b=2
c=3
return locals() #X/Object(locals())
--------
d=module.f()
print d['c'] # d.c

That's no access to a local variable of a method. It's a simple
function call.

I would to access to values that are created locally in that
method

Something with your interface seems horribly wrong.

One of the most surprising properties of local variables is that they
are, well... local.

GinTon,

I think this is what you want.
class Kdoi:

* *def Fdo(self):

searchterm = 'help'
print searchterm #local

class Kdomore(Kdo):

def Fdomore(self):

Thanks Robert, the best solution is get all local variables, else is
impossible access to them.

For test purposes/ex post inspection you could also uncomment the line in:

def f(a=1):
b=2
c=3
#globals().update(locals())
return a+b
--

then it is more easy and you can get it like:

module.c
You can also create a total stack trace dynamically with this trick function:

def mktb():
try: raise UserWarning
except: return sys.exc_info()[2]

def f(a=1):
b=2
c=3
global ftb;ftb=mktb()
return a+b
----

and then fully inspect the total situation in the func (and all down the call history) ex post at any time with

>>f()
pdb.post_mortem(module.ftb) # then do once 'up' in pdb/pywin.debugger...
pywin.debugger.post_mortem(module.ftb)

Which other programming language can do things like this?
( Unfortunately (legacy) Python has no possibility to (re-)continue execution from exceptions/traces other than by simple generators )

print shows the results wherever a print statement

I didn't run the code, and it has it has a coding
error but if removed, the results should be;

searchterm = 'help'
self.searchterm = 'help'

Sound silly but many people have trouble with
getting a variable from here to there in their
code. This shows that it can be done

If I remember right, he refrased his first

Sometimes people don't take the time to write

Also, I have found that other will latch on to the

When was that? Even years ago, there were slightly better ways. For
example, my first boss' boss was an enthusiastic coder and debugger and
also a workaholic. Colleagues who lived along the same railway line as
he and were foolish enough not to hide behind a newspaper could have
their morning or evening reverie disturbed by a cry of "Glad you're

that debugging techniques have moved along a little bit since then. :-)

When was that?

That was when bill gates just left Harvard,
basic was brand new, and 4k of memory was
installed free when you bought a computer,
(TRS80), my first,. Assemble was the alternative
to Basic and you had to backup on tape because
floppies didn't exist. And, most people on this

Correct but when writing one must be clear.

Would it be better for me to write, your question
above was Is that a typo?

Or is it better if I were to write, your
question above, "Is that a typo?",
is a legimate question, but not clear.

So, to be clear one might write is "Kdoi"
correct?.

A clear response would be, it is not "Kdoi", it is
"Kdo".

But that's not correct either, it is Kdo.

If one runs the code I don't expect the user to
look for "help", I think we will see help and
will THINK that the results are correct.

THINK is also incorrect, it should be written.
think, or should it?

No, the result would be

Given the number of typos your posts include, the mock accent, the
nonsensical sentences, the annoying hard-to-read coding conventions, and
the sheer number of grammatical errors in your sentences, do you have any
idea of the irony of that statement?

No, I imagine you don't.

Oh, and don't flatter yourself that you're the Old Man of Programming,
compared to all the young whipper snappers on this list who, quote,
"wern't even a gleem in their fathers eye". Many of us have been around
quite a while, some of us even remember that there was a computer market
before Bill Gates went dumpster-diving for source-code for a BASIC
interpreter, and even if we weren't, there is nothing to be proud of using
1970s programming style in 2000s programming languages.

[jim-on-linux]

The TRS-80 I bought came with both Basic and
Assembly Language teaching guides, and that was
it. To make the machine work one had to program.
I didn't mean to imply that Bill Gates developed
it. It's well known that MS borrowed stuff when
they needed to from where ever the could get it.
That's business.

I'm not an MS fan but Bill Gates was the one who
gave away a very cheep, borrowed but improved,
copy of DOS to computer sellers. These copies
could also be copied to floppies (8 inch). So,
DOS 3.3 was used by computer sellers, to install
DOS on the buyers machine, (intel 286) free.

On the other hand, IBM sold the same package for
$50.00.

I got the free copy of MS 3.3 with my 286.

After that, Windows 3.0 cost me $25.00,
Windows 3.1 cost me $30.00,
DOS upgrade from3.3 to 6.22 cost
me $55.00.
Since then I purchased Win 95, $100.00
and Win 98. $125.00.
And, all for testing software that I produced for
people that use that stuff.

Bill Gates probably can't program any software to
write "Hello World" on any screen, but I'll bet
he knows how to fill out a deposit ticket.

I think Bill Gates recognize early that the money
is in the marketing of the product, not the
programming of it. How else can you explain the
success of Windows, like it or not?

Pardon? I'd learned BASIC back around 1972, in
the 9th grade, using an ASR-33 with dial-up to
some company's Honeywell-Bull system.

BASIC is one of the ancients in languages,
predating Pascal and C.

Just because Gates managed to scrabble
together a BASIC interpreter for the MITS
Altair, and then had it picked up by other
makers of 8080/Z-80 based "microcomputers"

suspect he hasn't done any programming ever
since that day, and is probably still trying to
find some way to sue Kemeny&Kurtz (sp?s) over
their own creation)
