Hi Sam,
When you refer to modules, it sounds like you mean functions. A function is
this:
def aFunc(arg, arg2, arg3):
return arg + arg2 + arg3
A module is a file (usually) that can be imported into another, and can
provide a namespace for its contents:
# aModule.pydef aFunc(arg, arg2, arg3):
return arg + arg2 + arg3# main.pyimport aModule
aFunc(1,2,3)
You will need to provide a more complete example for us to get a better
idea about your question.
But yes it is a pretty common workflow for a function to accept parameters
and return results. However, if you are talking about configuration
variables, it can also be common to have a config class or module (a real
module), which gets set up once and can be accessed globally in other parts
of your code. Something like this could be one approach:
# conf.pyclass Config(object):
def __init__():
self.number = 1
self.name = "Name"
DefaultConfig = Config()
# main.pyimport conf
def main(config):
pass
def doWithDefaults():
number = conf.DefaultConfig.number
name = conf.DefaultConfig.name
# ...
if __name__ == "__main__":
# ... parse command args ...
config = conf.Config()
config.number = parsedNumber
config.name = parsedName
main(config)
Is this what you are after?
