Python - 将变量/对象作为要在函数中使用的参数传递？

Question

I'm still learning, so please forgive me if my fundamental idea of how this works is way off.

Anyways, I have two python programs. Program 1 functions to connect to a db and run a query. I would like to be able to pass a variable from program 2 to be used within a function in program 1... like this (note the * portion of the update query):

def updateSent():
    cnxn = pyodbc.connect('UID='+dbUser+';PWD='+dbPassword+';DSN='+dbHost)
    cursor = cnxn.cursor()
    update_stmt = "UPDATE WKM_sms_outbound SET status = 'sent' WHERE msg_id = ****VALUE FROM msgId****"
    cursor.execute(update_stmt)

and be able to call it like this from the other program:

updateSent(msgId)

I've searched around but I don't think i'm close enough with my wording to find what I'm looking for. Thank you ahead of time.

EDIT: here's the full code for both of the modules.

import pyodbc

# declare creds to login to db
dbUser="dba"
dbPassword="sql"
dbHost="Needles"
dbPort="2638"
dbConnection=None

# function to fetch/return latest sms from needles db
def pullData():
    # connect
    cnxn = pyodbc.connect('UID='+dbUser+';PWD='+dbPassword+';DSN='+dbHost)
    cursor = cnxn.cursor()

    # run query & store to dictionary
    outbound = cursor.execute("SELECT * FROM WKM_SMS_outbound ORDER BY id DESC")
    results = cursor.fetchone()
    collection = {}
    for index, outbound in enumerate(results):
        key_name = "col{0}".format(index)
        collection[key_name] = outbound

    # store desired keys/values to vars
    msg = collection['col1']
    destPhone = collection['col2']
    msgId = collection['col3']
    caseNum = collection['col4']
    sender = collection['col10']

    # close connection
    cnxn.close()

    # return desired fields for sending
    return (msg, destPhone, msgId, caseNum, sender)

def updateSent():
    cnxn = pyodbc.connect('UID='+dbUser+';PWD='+dbPassword+';DSN='+dbHost)
    cursor = cnxn.cursor()
    update_stmt = "UPDATE WKM_sms_outbound SET status = 'sent' WHERE msg_id = *********"
    cursor.execute(update_stmt)

And the other module:

import requests
from otherModule import pullData
from otherModule import updateSent
from datetime import datetime
from Logger import Logger

# call function from other module to pull sms
msg, destPhone, msgId, caseNum, sender = pullData()

# declare vars
msg=msg
destPhone=destPhone
sender=sender
msgId=str(msgId)

# headers and parameters required for api
headers = {
    'x-api-token': '1130FxmIcc****oCZZPCpq8ODQo',
    'x-api-key': 'pdwz0naW5hyC****nOf26BZFS28',
    'content-type': 'multipart/form-data; boundary=---'
}

formData = {
    'locationId': '2045',
    'messageBody': msg,
    'contactPhone': destPhone
}

# POST & log the sms request
Logger.writeAndPrintLine('[REQ: ' + msgId + '] ' + sender + ' to ' + destPhone, 1)

updateSent(msgId)

r=requests.post('https://api.***.com/v1/conversations/messages', headers=headers, params=formData).text

Answer 1

Something like

def updateSent(MsgIdValue):
    cnxn = pyodbc.connect('UID='+dbUser+';PWD='+dbPassword+';DSN='+dbHost)
    cursor = cnxn.cursor()
    update_stmt = "UPDATE WKM_sms_outbound SET status = 'sent' WHERE msg_id = " + str(MsgIdValue)
    cursor.execute(update_stmt)

The point is to have the value MsgIdValue as a parameter to the function. Your query string needs this value, here by adding a string version of your value.

Edit: you seem to have more than one question. This only addresses one part of the question
