How do I get a variable from one file into another file

Question

I want to get my class variables from file x and use them in file y. How can I go about doing this?

I have seen that you would use from fileName import * but when i use this i get a error "import * only allowed at one module level"

A.py

VAR1 = 'foo'
VAR2 = 'bar

from A import VAR1, VAR2

Assuming files A.py and B.py are located in the same folder...

I do this but i comes up with import * only allowed at one module – Nicholas Cole Dec 28 '16 at 18:18
import * [AKA wild import] should give you the same effect – Aviad Dec 28 '16 at 18:20
what do you mean by wil import – Nicholas Cole Dec 28 '16 at 18:20
it's just a term , saying you're importing the entire global variables from the module. So in this specific example: from A import VAR1, VAR2 and from A import * will have the same effect, which is importing VAR1, VAR2 from A.py to B.py – Aviad Dec 28 '16 at 18:23
but still when i do that I get the same message – Nicholas Cole Dec 28 '16 at 18:28
