Marcelo, thank you! Passing the variables with dictonaries and function
globals() works fine if no other functions are defined in 'second.py'. Now
'second.py' contains further functions and a "if __name__ = __main__"
statement and in this case it seems that 'second.py' is not fully executed
from 'test_exec.py'. For the sole purpose of testing, 'second.py' looks like
this at the moment:
#! /usr/local/bin/python
# second.py
import os, sys
global zipfile
print 'Read from globals: ' + globals()['infile']
zipfile = globals()['infile']
print 'Read from zipfile: ' + zipfile
if __name__ == '__main__':
print 'Hello'
print globals()['infile']
print zipfile
Calling test_exec.py results into this output:
./test_exec.py
Read from globals: /data/S0012230_0010.ZIP
Read from zipfile: /data/S0012230_0010.ZIP
It seems that the commands within the main are not executed when calling
test_exec.py!?! Is there a way to make it running?
Regards and thank you again,
Dorit
