How to execute code from other tab

Mateus05

Hello. I'm typing code in other tab, from processing, however a need to import the functions for me to execute. When I typing "import", the processing return error.

Example:

Tab 1 (main) import tab2

foo();

Tab 2

def foo(): print("Hello world! =)")

---

How I can to do this?

Ignore me. I apparently don't know anything about Python mode.

• Under Python Mode, only the 1st main tab has the extension ".pyde".
• All additional tabs use extension ".py" instead.
• Therefore, we 1st need to import them into our main ".pyde" tab before they become available.
• Let's say your tab 2 is called "My_Other_Stuff.py".
• And inside that ".py" tab, you've got a function called loadStuff(): def loadStuff():
• A class called Stuff: class Stuff:
• And even a constant variable called HOUR: HOUR = 60 * 60 * 1000

My_Other_Stuff.py

HOUR = 60 * 60 * 1000

def loadStuff(): pass

class Stuff: pass

• Now, in order to import everything from "My_Other_Stuff.py" tab into the ".pyde" main tab, you can use the following: from My_Other_Stuff import *
• You can even specify which 1s you actually want.
• Let's say you need loadStuff() & HOUR, but not Stuff: from My_Other_Stuff import loadStuff, HOUR
• And sometimes, you might prefer to access them all via a prefix:

My_Main_Tab.pyde:

import My_Other_Stuff as Stuff

print Stuff.HOUR
things = Stuff.loadStuff()
stuff = Stuff.Stuff()
