How to call a function from another file in Python

Question

Hi Guys,

I have one function in a python file. I want to use this function in a different python file. How can I call a function from another file in python?

Hi@akhtar,

You can use the import keyword to call your function. I have attached one example below. You can go through it.

Say you have one python file like this.

$ notepad basic.py
  def fun(x,y):
    z= x+y
    return (z)

Now you can call this function into a different python file like this.

from basic import fun
data=fun(3,3)
print(data)

I hope this will give you some ideas.
