Hi, im trying to import a function from a previous code so i can work with it, the problem is that when i try to do so, it prints somethings on screen despite having no print or calling any function that prints anything

give us more context. Is it an external package? How are you importing it? Where are you using the imported function, or class? Give us the error message, if you see any. Share the code.

i have to run this function a thousand times and return a mean

please share the code related to the error, we can't help you blindly

brazen tangle Mar 31, 2024, 2:30 AM

#

without looking at the code, we can't tell you what's wrong .. there are multiple guesses we can take but rather look at the code and give a definitive answer ..

lines 59 to 79 contain print()
and you are calling the function in line 150 inside the incendio() function which is being called in the file at line 157, which causes it to be printed on importing

to solve the issue you need move the function call on 157 to a function, and since it is in the main part of the script. I recommend you put it in a main function and add this to the end of your file

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

which tells python to run this function (which is basically the main script) only when you run the file itself and not import it from somewhere ele

you got it? ask me if you want to understand more

#

i tried doing thos

#

like this

#

but in the second file i removed the part when it calls that function

glossy pasture Mar 31, 2024, 2:40 AM

#

the function will run even if you remove the call from the second file because it is being called from the file itself
and to prevent that you need to wrap it in a main() function

tacit spindle Mar 31, 2024, 2:40 AM

#

i do not think we are allowed to do that

#

this is for an assignment

#

we cant use some things

glossy pasture Mar 31, 2024, 2:42 AM

#

so they don't allow you to wrap the code in a main function? that can't be true
acutally it is a good practice to do so

tacit spindle Mar 31, 2024, 2:43 AM

#

they told us to use only what we´ve seen

glossy pasture Mar 31, 2024, 2:44 AM

#

tacit spindle they told us to use only what we´ve seen

a little bit of good practice won't harm, and you can explain the reason as being a way to prevent the code from running when you import it

tacit spindle Mar 31, 2024, 2:44 AM

#

hm

#

ok

#

so, how does it work?

glossy pasture Mar 31, 2024, 2:45 AM

#

tacit spindle so, how does it work?

as I said, wrap any code that is not iside a function to be in a main function

tacit spindle Mar 31, 2024, 2:46 AM

#

im sorry, i dont get what you mean

brazen tangle Mar 31, 2024, 2:46 AM

#

in that case keep everything inside their own function. So, when you import, you import the function directly without calling it. Right now, there are part of the script (in the first file) that are not wrapped in any function. So, as soon as you import it to another file, it will trigger them. If you can't do if __name__ == "__main__: then keep everything as a part of some function.

For example, in the first file keep you while loop at line 161 in a function. So that it will trigger when you import that function in the 2nd file and call the function explicitly.

tacit spindle Mar 31, 2024, 2:46 AM

#

OOOO

#

ok

#

i think iget it

#

but how do i call it without it running on the second file

brazen tangle Mar 31, 2024, 2:47 AM

#

Instead of having the following

while burningtrees>0:

    bosque=incendio(bosque)[0]
    burningtrees=incendio(bosque)[1]
    minutos +=1
    print(f"Tiempo: {minutos}")

Do,

def trigger_main():
    while burningtrees>0:

        bosque=incendio(bosque)[0]
        burningtrees=incendio(bosque)[1]
        minutos +=1
        print(f"Tiempo: {minutos}")

This way, you have to import it in the 2nd file and explicitly trigger the function.

bc i need it to run on the firt file

brazen tangle Instead of having the following ```py while burningtrees>0: bosque=incendio...

this doesnt work 😭

glossy pasture Mar 31, 2024, 2:49 AM

#

tacit spindle but how do i call it without it running on the second file

add this to the very last bit of your code

if __name__ == "__main__":
  trigger_main()

#

and it will only run when you run the file itself, and not import it

tacit spindle Mar 31, 2024, 2:49 AM

#

OK

MinoriSalute

tacit spindle Mar 31, 2024, 2:51 AM

#

glossy pasture and it will only run when you run the file itself, and not import it

i think it works

#

give me a sec

brazen tangle Mar 31, 2024, 2:51 AM

#

there is a way to create modules and turn your project into a package. Which means, you can't directly run it. Only 1 file should run. All other should only contain functions and classes. They are not supported to run.

glossy pasture Mar 31, 2024, 2:51 AM

tacit spindle i think it works

happy to hear that TL_AnimeThumbsUpWellDone

I'm sorry but I don't understand this

tacit spindle Mar 31, 2024, 2:53 AM

its a famous phrase in spanish

glossy pasture Mar 31, 2024, 2:53 AM

#

can u translate?

tacit spindle Mar 31, 2024, 2:53 AM

#

its literal translation would be "dont count them as dead until thheir bodies are cold"

glossy pasture Mar 31, 2024, 2:53 AM

#

ohhhhhh

#

it's good to know
I might learn spanish some time soon

tacit spindle Mar 31, 2024, 2:54 AM

thats nice

glossy pasture Mar 31, 2024, 2:54 AM

tacit spindle Mar 31, 2024, 2:54 AM

let me try this

#

with te code

glossy pasture Mar 31, 2024, 2:55 AM

#

yeah

brazen tangle Mar 31, 2024, 3:04 AM

#

@tacit spindle Check out the code I have modified.

https://paste.pythondiscord.com/752Q

tacit spindle Mar 31, 2024, 3:04 AM

#

let me see

#

what did you change?

brazen tangle Mar 31, 2024, 3:06 AM

#

tacit spindle what did you change?

a lot .. please check it properly .. I wrapped bosque_vacio inside a function. In the 2nd file I remove all extra stuff and simply import the functions from the first file and triggered it. Just compare these with your original code and see the difference.

tacit spindle Mar 31, 2024, 3:10 AM

#

let me see

#

the first dfile doesnt print anything

brazen tangle Mar 31, 2024, 3:23 AM

#

Yes it won't. That's the whole point. Break down the code and keep them in separate files to make sure it is organised. And keep only 1 file as a point of entry. This way to trigger anything we have to trigger that 1 specific file.
