如何从导入的python文件中获取列表

Question

This was my python file, and I want to move “names” list to other file, and import it.

name = [“one”,
        “two”,
        “three”]
for doing_job in name:
        (doing something)

I have imported sucsessfully, but I can't get that “name” list the main python file.
made like this

main.py

from settings import name
for doing_job in name

settings/name.py

name = [“one”,
        “two”,
        “three”]
return name

How can I fix this and get “name” on the main.py file?
Error now is

for doing_job in name:  
NameError: name 'name' is not defined

Answer 1

You can get the name variable by calling name.name . Check the example below:

Main.py file:

from settings import name

for n in name.name:
    print(n)

settings/name.py file:

name = [["one","two","three"]]

Answer 2

Everything is ok unless the curly quotes use straight ones, also it seeems you are missing a ending bracket and why a "useless" return outside function?

name = [['one',
        'two',
        'three']]

You can use double "" too

Answer 3

main.py

from settings import name
for doing_job in name.name:
    print(doing_job)

or

from settings.name import name
for doing_job in name:
    print(doing_job)
