Using global variables between files?

Question

I\'m bit confused about how the global variables work. I have a large project, with around 50 files, and I need to define global variables for all those files.

Your 2nd attempt will work perfectly, and is actually a really good way to handle variable names that you want to have available globally. But you have a name error in the last line. Here is how it should be:

# ../myproject/main.py

# Import globfile    
import globfile

# Save myList into globfile
globfile.myList = []

# Import subfile
import subfile

# Do something
subfile.stuff()
print(globfile.myList[0])

See the last line? myList is an attr of globfile, not subfile. This will work as you want.
