Override globals in function imported from another module

Question

Let\'s say I have two modules:

a.py

value = 3
def x()
    return value

b.py

from          


        

Answer 1

So I found a way to (sort of) do this, although I don't think it entirely solves your problems. Using inspect, you can access the global variables of the file calling your function. So if you set up your files like so:

a.py

import inspect

value = 3

def a():
    return inspect.stack()[1][0].f_globals['value']

b.py

from a import a

value = 5

print(a())

The output is 5, instead of 3. However, if you imported both of these into a third file, it would look for the globals of the third file. Just wanted to share this snippet however.
