I defines a global variable in function.But PyCharm can't reference this global variable.
code like this:



a.py:
g_Handle = None
def Init():
import mods
global g_handle
g_handle = mods.handle_class()

b.py:
import a
a.g_handle
# PyCharm will reference 'g_handle' as None,
# but I want reference 'g_handle' as mods.handle_class


I try to add type for g_handle, but I don't want import mods directly in a.py



a.py:
g_handle =None # type: mods.handle_class


but this is not work.can't find mods
so I want to know how to let PyCharm can reference g_handle as mods.handle_class.
Thank you.

I'm not sure if it's an element of the way you're asking your question, but it looks like you've got multiple problems here. The first is an import reference problem (or possibly using an import where a class would be more effective).



See, if you run the code only as you have described and provided, you would never get the correct answer that you seek because the Init function in a.py would never get called.



You need to have the intended global variable defined in some way in the global scope prior to being used like in your code.



The global statement merely tells the interpreter to link the values of the provided variable across all states. It does not define the variable in the outermost scope on its own.



Therefore, something like this (EDIT: FIXED):



a.py:
g_handle = False
def Init():
import mods
global g_handle
g_handle = mods.handle_class()

b.py:
import a

a.Init()
a.g_handle


...should work to return what you're looking for.



If you could use a class instead of importing from another module, you could save yourself from trouble too:



import mods

class a():
g_handle = False
global g_handle

def __init__(self, handle_class):
g_handle = handle_class()

if __name__ == "__main__":
a(mods.handle_class).g_handle
