The first python program called first.py includes the following code:
print ('my name is viena')
How can I input the result from that first program, i.e., 'my name is viena' as input into my second program called second.py which includes the following code:
question = 'what\'s your name?'
answer = ?????HERE HOW TO INPUT THE RESULT FROM FIRST PROGRAM
print (answer)
my name is viena
Note: There should be two different python script files as I mentioned in the question.
If you can wrap the print statement in your first program inside a function (say print_name) , then you can so something like
import first
first.print_name()
to get the name.
For a completely general purpose solution that involves shelling out, take a look at the subprocess module.
How about change the first script as importable module:
# Changed the print function call with function.
def my_name():
return 'my name is viena'
if __name__ == '__main__':
print(my_name())
Another script can now import the first script using import statement, and use its functions.
import name_of_the_first_script
question = "what's your name?"
answer = name_of_the_first_script.my_name()
printand(....
