Is there any way to get the import variable in the importer?

Question

Say I have two python files

 # importer.py
 parameter = 4
 import importee

and

 # importee.py
 print parameter

Can I or how can I access importer.py in importee.py ? parameter

I use ugly work, occupy (and pollute) sys

 # importer.py
 import sys
 sys.parameter = 4
 import importee

and

 # importee.py
 print sys.parameter

Too ugly. Look for the best solution.

Answer 1

The recommended way to achieve what I think you want to achieve is to declare a function in importee and call it, for example:

# importer.py
import importee
importee.call_me(4)

and

# importee.py
def call_me(parameter):
    print(parameter)

It is preferable to avoid performing any operations in the global area. And especially print()nothing, but I suppose your minimal example does not match your real use case :).
