Hello

I want to create a variable in a config.py file, import that file into main.py, and use the variable. But the variable does not become available in main.py. I don't want to change the variable inside main.py, I only want to reference to it. What am I doing wrong?

The code provided is a simplification of the actual code and acts as an example.

One solution I can find is the following. But what shall I do if I have got multiple variables?

# main.py
import config
white_new = config.white
print(white_new)

Answer 1

Just do:

# main.py
from config import white
print(white)

For multiple variables:

from config import white, variable_1, variable_2, ...
