I write a long program that I'm gonna split in 4-5 parts. The mother program will use the other daughter programs (which are also modules) by importing them. Is it possible to have a variable in the mother program that the other daughter programs will also use?
For example:

#mother program

a = 5

import daughter1

#daughter1 program

b = 6

c = a + b

print c

This of course is not working, it says 'variable a is not defined' or smth like that. Is it possible somehow to use the variable a in the 2 programs?

You can save the information into the file and access it from the other program.

Yes, on top of the daughter program, write

from __main__ import a

It is better to make a function in the daughter program and pass a to it as a parameter.
