I want to store some data and allocate some variables for it. This variable should be accessible from another python file.

FILE 1

server_ip ="BLAH"
pswd ="BLEH"

server =   // server_ip of file 1
password =     /pswd of file 1

Depending where is file1.py. If it's in the same directory, use

import file1
server = file1.server_ip
password = file1.pswd

If it isn't in the same directory, try:

import sys
sys.path.append(r"whatever\the\path\to\file1\is")

import file1
server = file1.server_ip
password = file1.pswd

Sign up to request clarification or add additional context in comments.

if file 1 is in the same directory your method works, but its not :/

second method does not work, i get 'cannot import name 'server_ip''

Did you write the path correctly, without the filename (only where the directory is)?

Ah, ive inlcluded the file name thats why it didnt work. Thankyou Everybody!
