hi Justin,
sorry let me explain more clearly. I have a package which contains 3 modules
(seperate python files) and a subpackage which contains all the utility modules
(6 other python files, like 'subdivide_curves' and 'fire_circles' etc).
in the main package the 3 modules 'createGui' which loads my GUI, one
'configure' which sets up all the required variables for my program and another
'run' which actually gets called when the user runs the program through the GUI.
Inside 'run' it basically has all of my modules loaded in (that are being used
directly in 'run' like this:
-------------------------------------------
import samDev.rigging.TOPOCOAT.configure as configure
reload(configure)
import samDev.rigging.TOPOCOAT.utility_functions.subdivide_curves as
subdivide_curves
reload(subdivide_curves)
import samDev.rigging.TOPOCOAT.utility_functions.general as general
reload(general)
import samDev.rigging.TOPOCOAT.utility_functions.webbing as webbing
reload(webbing)
import samDev.rigging.TOPOCOAT.utility_functions.circle_configure as
circle_config
reload(circle_config)
---------------------------------------
and then there is a main function which just calls the required modules one
after the other using the variables returned from the 'configure' module.
eg. 'subdivide_curves.execute(configured_curves)'
The problem i think when a module is called which then itself creates new
variables (specific to that module) and calls another module and i have to
track the current variables' state at that point and feed those modified
variables into the module call.
Like inside the module 'circle_configure' the script calls the module 'general'
which has a function that fires rays and return collision points. but before it
calls it i have to figure out all the variables it requires from the
'subdivide_curves' module and feed them into the module call:
fire_circles.execute(circle_counter,limb_counter,curr_circ_center,limb_vec,crv_pnt1,crv_pnt2)
when this was all one script everything linked up obviously. But as im
splitting things up im finding it tedious to feed information from one module
into the next one. And im not sure if im setting this up sensibly.
I hope this is clearer? sorry am a bit lost here
thanks alot Justin,
Sam
