Hello,

I've managed to muddle my way through python for the last while and have
finally come up with something I dont know how to deal with.

(I have included a simplified code group below that represents what m
trying to do and see)

I have a main module (test6.py)  which calls a configuration module
(test8.py)  and then a number of other modules (test7 etc) which use the
data from the configuration  module.  (ie:  configuration.output returns
"excel")

when I run the code I get the following error:
C:\Python33\python.exe  C:/Users/dcrisp/Documents/Python/gui/test6.py
sql
Traceback (most recent call last):
excel
   File "C:/Users/dcrisp/Documents/Python/gui/test6.py", line 10, in
<module>
     mainWin = test7.MainWindow()
   File "C:\Users\dcrisp\Documents\Python\gui\test7.py", line 5, in
__init__
     if configuration.input.upper() == "EXCEL":
NameError: global name 'configuration' is not defined

Which is telling me that configuration isnt a global ...

Help?  please?  OKay,  an actual question.

How do I read the configuration opbject from within test7 when it is
called from test6?    I dont really want to call it from every module
that needs it as there is meant to be some write back functionality
happening to a configuration file and if I try and do that from more
than one entry point I will end up writing a corrupted config back.  So
A single entry point for configuration would be nice..

Or am I doing it wrong?

Whats the best way of doing what I want to do.

Again, if I havent asked the right questions, please guide and I will
try and provide the information you need.

Regards,
David Crisp

Three simplified files provided below.

Module 1:
test6.py
import test8
import test7

if __name__ == '__main__':
     configuration = test8.client_configuration()

     print(configuration.output)
     print(configuration.input)

     mainWin = test7.MainWindow()
     pass

Module 2:
test7.py
class MainWindow():
     def __init__(self):

This class doesn't get "configuration" declared or passed in or otherwise made available to it. You could do ...

       def __init__(self, configuration):

... which would at least generate an error if you don't pass it in.

         if configuration.input.upper() == "EXCEL":
             print("excel in")
         elif configuration.input.upper() == "SQL":
             print("SQL in")
         else:
             print("Inappropriate Configuration Set")



When running test6 the following code in test7 never runs. It only runs if test7 is run independently.

if __name__ == '__main__':
     import test8
     configuration = test8.client_configuration()
     mainWin = MainWindow()
     pass

Module 3:
test8.py
class client_configuration():
     def __init__(self):
         self.input = "excel"
         self.output = "sql"


ditto for test8

if __name__ == '__main__':
     configuration = client_configuration()

     print(configuration.input)
     print(configuration.output)
