Call a function of inside function in main file from module using python

Question

import math as m

def f1():
    a = 10
    b = 20
    c = a+b
    print(c)
    print(m.sqrt(4))

    def num(a,b):
        d = a*b
        return d

How to call to num function in another pycharm module ?

You can't, the function num(a,b) is essentially a local variable inside f1(); it only exists when f1() is ran.

Just write num(a,b) not as a nested function and you can call it elsewhere (if you import it properly) and f1() still has access to it:

import math as m

def num(a,b):
    d = a*b
    return d

def f1():
    a = 10
    b = 20
    c = a+b
    d = num(a,b)

I wants access nested function

You can access num() somewhere else now and your function still uses it. I think this does what you want?
