Hi,

I've a problem updating my variable in a module.

In my main program, I call a function from mod1 to update a variable of mod1
As soon as I update this varibale, I check it back in the mail program
but it the variable from mod1 does not get updated.

main Program:
****************
import mod1
a = 20
mod.update(a)
print mod.a <---- does not print anything

As Tim noted, this cannot run.
*** Always post the code you actually ran ***
So we cannot answer why the code you did not post did not work.

With the mod/mod1 mixup fixed, you do not need the update function.
mod.a = 20
should do the same thing.

mod1
********
a = 10
def update(someInt):
global a
a = someInt
print a <---- this does actually print a = 20
