How to pass on variable to function in different script file

Ich have one python file where I declare my variables and a second file containing more functions (in this example only one function). I can't seem to figure out how to pass on the variables from one.py to two.py.

one.py:

import two
a=1
b=2
c=3
dict={'ONE':a,'TWO':b,'THREE':c}

two.py:

def f():
    d=a+b+c
    return d

two.f() should return:

6

Thanks in advance

EDIT:

It's working fine in the command line in the mean time. But for some reason doesn't want to work when I run the script in Abaqus. It says: 

count=two.f(my_dictionary)  
AttributeError:'Module' object has no attribute 'f'
Solution

  • First of all create a module to make 'import two' work. - Create a directory and put a blank init.py file there, two.py and one.py.

    Your two.py should be:

    def f(x):
    return x['ONE']+x['TWO']+x['Three']

    Your one.py should be:

    import two
a=1
b=2
c=3
my_dictionary={'ONE':a,'TWO':b,'THREE':c}
two.f(my_dictionary)
