Let me restate my question.
Say I have a script Executable.py that calls all other scripts and
controls them:
#!/usr/local/bin/python
from Module import Data
import ModuleTest
ModuleTest.py has this:
print(Data.Plist.Structure)
Running Executable.py gives me this:
NameError: name 'Data' is not defined
1) Can I tell Executable.py to share Data with ModuleTest.py?
After the import is complete, yes.
import ModuleTest
ModuleTest.Data = Data
This works if the use of Data is inside a function that is not called
during import, not if the use of Data is at toplevel or in a class
statement outside a def.
or if that can't be done:
2) Can I tell ModuleTest.py to "look upstream" for Data?
Yes if ModuleTest imports Executable, but circular imports are a bad idea.
