Yeah,

Thats right,

from module import desired_object

module exapmle:

# Desired Module:

desired_object = None
def my_func():
    global desired_object
    desired_object = SomeObject()

But make sure the 'my_func' must be called before importing desired_object from your module

Is your code right if the desired_object was created inside a function?

Also you could do

from module import object
object.function()
