Cannot call a variable from another function

Question

I edited my thread based on feedback. Basically, I need to use a couple of variables from function 1, and I need to print it in function 2.

How do I go about doing that?

Answer 1

Shawn's answer is great, very straight-forward and almost certainly what you are looking for. He suggests you bring the variables out of the function_one scope by returning them. Another way to solve the problem is to bring your function_two into function_one's scope with a closure.

def function_one():
  num_one = 5
  num_two = 6
  num_three = 7

  def function_two():
    print(num_one)
    print(num_two)
    print(num_three)

  return function_two

func_two = function_one()
func_two()

Edit to address your comment. You could also call function_two directly like this. But this is less readable and unpythonic IMO.

function_one()()
