Python variables between files

Question

# file1.py
a = 1
print(a)
# 1

# file2.py
from file1 import a
print(a)
# 0

I want "1" output in file2.py, why it doesn't work?

@bigbounty If it was in a different directory, error would be ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'file1' — Roshin Raphel

@bigbounty Yes that is true, my bad, I assumed that by #0 he meant the output was 0 — Roshin Raphel

Your code should give the below output

1

You get two 1's in the output because when python imports a file it executes it. When file1 is imported, it's print statement is executed. The second 1 is from the print statement in the file2

If you are getting 0 as output check if you have the permissions to execute these files (Since your files are in root directory)
