Change global variable of a package

Question

I am using the functionality from the following script of the gensim package: https://github.com/RaRe-Technologies/gensim/blob/3.8.0/gensim/summarization/keywords.py

How can I change the global variables WINDOW_SIZE , etc. before invoking the function keywords()

Answer 1

Try this:

from gensim.summarization.keywords import WINDOW_SIZE, keywords

WINDOW_SIZE = <whatever value you want>

k = keywords(...)

Answer 2

Import the module with a name, then re-assign it in the module object:

import gensim.summarization.keywords as kw

kw.WINDOW_SIZE = new_value
kw.keywords()
