How to Pass Variables Between Functions in Python 3

Passing variables between functions can sometimes be tricky, especially if you're new to programming. In this article, we will explore how to effectively pass a variable from one function to another in Python 3, using a concrete example involving Tkinter, the GUI toolkit for Python.

The Problem Statement

Consider the following scenario: You have two functions, and you want to pass a variable from one function to another. In your original code, you attempted to do this, but it didn't work as expected. Let's take a look at your initial script and the issues it faced:

Issues Identified

Scope of Variables: The variable which was being passed incorrectly due to scope issues. It was not accessible in the place you were trying to use it.

Button Command: The command for the button in the second window was referencing which.get(), which was inappropriate since which was meant to be a string and not an object with a get() method.

The Solution

The good news is that you found the solution on your own! Here's how you successfully passed the variable between the functions, updated code, and the explanation of the changes made:

Explanation of the Changes

Rearranged the Function Definitions: By defining the go() function inside the main() function, go() can directly access the which variable passed to main(). This is crucial as it ensures go() has the right context for the variable.

Eliminated the get() Method: Instead of trying to call which.get(), the updated command within the button now simply calls go(which) directly. This change resolved the issue because which is now directly passed as a string.

Window Management: The withdraw() method effectively hides the second window (w2), and it's correctly deiconified when the button is pressed, ensuring a smoother user experience.

Conclusion

Passing variables between functions in Python can be straightforward when you understand the scope and context of your variables. In this case, nesting the go() function within main() allowed it to access which directly, resolving the original issue. If you're learning Python, keep experimenting with your code, and you'll develop a solid grasp of functions and variable management in no time!
