How do I update the value of a variable within another script?

Question

Basically to illustrate better, I’m supposed to have a.py file that has the following content:

token = ''

I created the update_file.py that has the goal of updating the token variable to another value where it necessarily has to be an input. My question is how would the file update.py.

Answer 1

A solution would be:

import arquivo

new_token = input("Entre com seu token: ")

arquivo.token = new_token

print(arquivo.token)

But that only works at runtime. When the program finishes the token returns to the default value which in the case is empty
