Can I ‘return’ a dictionary from an imported Python script?
I have a utility module (NameAddress.py) done using Tkinter. (For example,
Name/Address City,State,Zip,Email, Phone) that I want to use as imported
module. I wanted to return the values as a dictionary to the module that
imported but this does not seem to work.
This is the dictionary as printed out from the NameAddress.py by print theDict
shows what I want:
{'City': 'San Francisco', 'Name': 'Sam Spade', 'Zip': '98765', 'Address1':
'Apt. #87', 'Address2': '2345 Union Street', 'Phone': '1-415-896-9876',
'State': 'Ca.', 'Email': '[EMAIL PROTECTED]'}
However the code for return in NameAddress.py , I.E. return theDict
gives this error when called from a testing module (Inter_module.py) whose
code looks like this:
import NameAddress
y = NameAddress.getName()
print y
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Python24\Lib\SITE-P~1\PYTHON~1\pywin\framework\scriptutils.py", line
310, in RunScript
exec codeObject in __main__.__dict__
File "C:\Users\B\Desktop\Inter_module.py", line 6, in ?
y = NameAddress.getName()
File "C:\Users\B\Desktop\NameAddress.py", line 22, in getName
theDict={'Name': w2.get(), 'Address1': w4.get(), 'Address2':
w6.get(),'City':w8.get()}
File "C:\Python24\Lib\lib-tk\Tkinter.py", line 2303, in get
return self.tk.call(self._w, 'get')
