Generally you don't want to use global to make values available in another function - you would want to pass them as arguments to the function that needs it! def f(): x =... some code return x def g(parameter): do something with parameter return parameter Then you can write: my_value = f() my_next_value = g(my_value) Or directly g(f()) or something like that.

you can use "global" statement which makes a variable available in all scopes. however it is essential to check the variable name you are making global doesn't interrupt any other part of the code seeing as it might have the same name as another variable. you can use global like this: def foo(): global x x = 10 print(x) def bar(): global x print(x) x = 20 print(x) def baz(): global x print(x) foo() # 10 bar() # 10 20 baz() # 20

Adding to the answer by pooya shams global x has to be declared outside all the functions also. So just add at the start global x x = (any starting value you want)
