function that returns a list of dictionaries - nostradamus64 - May-06-2021

Hello everyone, i want to create a function that returns a list of dictionaries with my users
in Python. I dont want it to print out something, i want to use this module for another script.
How do i go about it? thanks in advance.

# result.py
from my_record import foo

def bar():
    print(f'The car vaules is <{foo()[1].get("car")}>')

bar()

Output:
The car vaules is <641>

Look at at how modules work is the simplest way to use use import .
So here is both files in same folder.
This is file i import from.

# my_record.py
def foo():
    my_lst = [
        {"foo": 12, "bar": 14},
        {"moo": 52, "car": 641},
        {"doo": 6, "tar": 84},
    ]
    return my_lst

Here a post where explain more a packages(a way to organize more files/folders).

Thank you, and if i use the module pwd and systemd how could i get info about my users UID, name, shell(login) and if they are logged in or not with an asterisk symbol to symbolise it?
