Exporting a variable in a Tornado class to another module

I'm using the Tornado framework and have a Websockethandler, which receives data from the client and the value is stored in a variable. How can I send that variable to another module. This is the code (partial):

#module a.py

class Handler(tornado.websocket.WebSocketHandler):    
    @tornado.web.asynchronous
    @gen.engine

    def on_message(self, event):
        data = urlparse.parse_qs(event)
        event= data.get('type')

How can the variable event be passed to module b.py

Thanks

Make a function in module b.py, for example on_message and pass it your event variable:

b.py:

def handle_event(new_event):
    print new_event

a.py:

import b

class Handler(tornado.websocket.WebSocketHandler):    
    @tornado.web.asynchronous
    @gen.engine

    def on_message(self, event):
        data = urlparse.parse_qs(event)
        event= data.get('type')
        b.handle_message(event)  # this
