number needs to be in a global scope, that means outside of a function definition (it shouldn't be indented)
if the variable is inside a function it is impossible to get it in another file
pack.py
number = 100
def test():
test.other_number = 999 # here we assigne a variable to the function object.
print("test")
another.py
import pack
pack.test()
print(pack.number)
print(test.other_number) # this only works if the function has been called once
Alternatively if you are using classes:
pack.py
class Someclass():
other_number = 999 # here we define a class variable
def __init__(self):
self.number = 100 # here we set the number to be saved in the class
def test(self):
print(self.number) # here we print the number
another.py
import pack
somclass_instance = pack.Someclass() # we make a new instance of the class. this runs the code in __init__
somclass_instance.test() # here we call the test method of Someclass
print(somclass_instance.number) # and here we get the number
print(Someclass.other_number) # here we retrieve the class variable
numberis a function's local variable. It's not part of any class, and doesn't even exist unless the function is being executed. What are you trying to achieve here?
