如何从 python 文件中访问字典（使用 python）

Question

I have this file named "names.py"

names = {}

names['males']=[
  "Bob",
  "Will",
  "John"
]
names['female']=[
  "Anna",
  "Lindsay",
  "Nicole",
]

i also have this other .py file named "income.py"

exec(open("names.py").read())
print(names["males"])

But this isn't working. It sais there is no "names" variable. Does anyone know how to do it? It must be 2 differently files.

Answer 1

Filelord alludes to how you might do this with an import statement. Picking up on his comment, here is one possible way when "names.py" is in the same folder/directory.

import names

print(names.names['males'])

When I executed this program, this is what printed on my terminal.

['Bob', 'Will', 'John']

Hope that clarifies things.

Regards.
