Making a dataframe global so that i can access it anywhere in the class

I am working on the below program, I am unable to access the data (its a dataframe) object from the search method inside the displayPage class. I tried using the global key word. Doesn't seems to work, can anyone help me out with this?

import tkinter as tk
import tkinter.messagebox as tm
from tkinter import *
from tkinter import ttk
import sys
import pandas as pd

global data

#importing our other .py file whihc is used for scraping infomration from the webpages
import scrape

FONTT = ("Times", "12", "bold italic")

class myApp(tk.Tk): 
    def __init__(self,*args,**kwargs):
        tk.Tk.__init__(self,*args,**kwargs)

        tk.Tk.wm_title(self,"Python Project")
        container = tk.Frame(self)
        container.pack(side = "top", fill = "both", expand = True)
        container.grid_rowconfigure(0,weight = 1)
        container.grid_columnconfigure(0,weight = 1)

        self.frames = {}
        for F in (LoginPage, SearchPage,displayPage):
            frame = F(container,self)
            self.frames[F] = frame
            frame.grid(row = 0,column = 0,sticky = "nsew")

        self.show_frame(LoginPage)

    #Function to show the page required thorugh navigation in the application
    def show_frame(self,cont):
        frame = self.frames[cont]
        frame.tkraise()    


#Function to validate the username and password entered by the user

def loginValidate(user,pwd,cont):
    if(user == "yogesh" and pwd == "123456"):
        cont.show_frame(SearchPage)
    else:
        tm.showerror("Login error", "Incorrect username or password")

#Function for fetching the dataframe containing the scraped infomration
def search(item,loc,cont):
    **data = scrape.scrape_info(item,loc)**
    cont.show_frame(displayPage)

class LoginPage(tk.Frame):

    def __init__(self,parent,controller):
        tk.Frame.__init__(self,parent)
        usr_login = StringVar()

        userEntry = tk.Entry(self, textvariable = usr_login, bd=5)
        passwordEntry = tk.Entry(self, textvariable=pwd_login,bd=5,show = "*")

        submitButton = ttk.Button(self,text = "Login",command = lambda: loginValidate(usr_login.get(),pwd_login.get(),controller))
        quitButton = ttk.Button(self,text = "Quit",command = self.exit)


        userLabel.grid(row = 0,sticky = "E",padx =10,pady =10)
        passwordLabel.grid(row =1,sticky = "E",padx =10,pady =10)
        userEntry.grid(row=0,column=1,padx =10,pady =10)

        welcomeLabel = tk.Label(self,text = "Welcome User", font = FONTT)
        logoutButton = ttk.Button(self,text = "Logout", command = lambda: controller.show_frame(LoginPage))

        item_search = StringVar()
        loc_search = StringVar()        

        item = tk.Label(self,text = "Find?")

            lable.pack()


app = myApp()
app.mainloop()

You need to use global keyword in the search method to access global data.

def search(item,loc,cont):
    global data

You should move global data to the line above data = scrape.scrape_info(item,loc), since without it, the assignment creates a new data variable in the scope of displayPage's __init__ method.

See this very basic example:

def foo():
    global a
    a = 1

def bar():
    print(a)

foo()
bar()
>> 1

If we remove global a from foo, ie

def foo():
    a = 1

def bar():
    print(a)

foo()
bar()
>> Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "main.py", line 33, in <module>
       ba()
   File "main.py", line 30, in bar
       print(a)
   NameError: name 'a' is not defined
