Accessing a variable

[anitn]

I am a beginner using python2.5.1.
In my project, I have a views.py in uscom.users which has
uid=2
def disp_list():
return uid

In another module forms.py , also in uscom.users, I am trying to access that value.
from uscom.users.views import *
def id_val():
key_id = views.disp_list()
return key_id

This doesn't work. Returns error that views is not defined. Am I doing something wrong? Please help.

Yes, since you import everything (*), you don't need to acces it with the module name:

    key_id = disp_list()
 

If you want to use "views.disp_list()":

import uscom.user.views as views
 

If you don't have the as part you will have to use this:

key_id = uscom.users.views.disp_list()

Hi..
thanks for the reply. Am i posting in the wrong forum? If yes please forgive. I am learning django and these methods I did try. All return errors.
Exception Value: cannot import name views
thank you once again

Try just:

import views
 

I think since the file is in uscom.user you don't need to specify that.

Btw, you are not posting in the wrong forum.
