Execute a file within another Python file in Spyder - Antonio - Jun-11-2018
So I need to run a file (file_1.py) within another file (file_2.py), and use the variables/outputs that are created via file_1.py in file_2.py! In file_2.py, I have tried the followings:
import file_1 exec(file_1)but non of these work! Could you tell me how I could do such a thing in Spyder?

# file1.py
import random
def rand_numb():
return random.randint(1, 100)# file2.py
import file1
def foo():
v = 42
print(f'The answer to everything is {v} and a random number {file1.rand_numb()}')
foo()Output:The answer to everything is 42 and a random number 94
