i am sorry,i am just a beginner in python language,i am quite stuck in this problem quite long.actually,i want to make a descending and ascending of list that the user input by creating a module of the descending and the ascending.but i couldn't get it work. the main python file is pythonaslab.py and the module for the ascending and the descending is selectionmodule.py..the code:
this is the selectionmodule:
import pythonaslab
def ascendingselection():
for q in range(len(b)):
w=q+1
for w in range(len(b)):
if b[q]>b[w]:
f=b[q]
b[q]=b[w]
b[w]=f
print b
def descendingselection():
for q in range(len(b)):
w=q+1
for w in range(len(b)):
if b[q]<b[w]:
f=b[q]
b[q]=b[w]
b[w]=f
print b
And this is the main file,the pythonaslab:
import selectionmodule
a = int(input())
b = [int(input()) for _ in range(a)]
print b
print "1.ascending 2.descending"
c=input()
if c==1:
selectionmodule.ascendingselection()
if c==2:
selectionmodule.descendingselection()
can you point me where's the cause of all this error i got?
Traceback (most recent call last):

You created a circular import; your pythonaslab module imports selectionmodule which imports the pythonaslab module. You end up with incomplete modules that way, don't do that.
Remove the import pythonaslab line from selectionmodule; you are not using pythonaslab in that module.
Also, another module cannot read your globals; you need to pass those in as arguments:
# this function takes one argument, and locally it is known as b
def ascendingselection(b):
# rest of function ..
then call that with:
selectionmodule.ascendingselection(b)
Note that you are not limited to one-letter variable names. Using longer, descriptive names makes your code more readable.
