Hi
I have defined a dictionary in a module:
mydir.py:
REG_LOOKUP = {
'REG_1' : some_value1,
'REG_2' : some_value2,
}
How would I import that dictionary from my main() function (which lives in a
different module) please?
Best regards
David
import othermodule
...
othermodule.REG_LOOKUP{whatever}
OR
from othermodule import REG_LOOKUP
...
REG_LOOKUP{whatever}
You can also use
from othermodule import *
but this is frowned upon as it pollutes your namespace, potentially
giving all sorts of weird and wonderful situations. I never use it.
