How do I transfer variables between modules in Python?

Question

mod.py:

def addone(number):
    result = number + 1

test.py:

import mod

print mod.addone(2)

The result I get is None, so I am guessing the result variable is missing. What is missing from my code.

And yes, I know this can easily be done without a module, it's just an example.

You're doing the import right, the method in mod.py that is not returning the result. Change to:

def addone(number):
    return number + 1

'return' is missing in add_one, so you got None
