I have a script(written in python ofcourse), on which i start a new method(as a new thread) from another script file(.py). Now, what i want is these two scripts(or these two threads) to share one common variable. Is this possible ?

What I have tried:

I tried using queue found here: python - How to share a variable between 2 threads - Stack Overflow[^]

maybe you'd like to share your code and indicate what the issue is with it (you've said what youve tried but not whats happening/not happening)

- the 'queue' method seems like a good initial approach to me, assuming your thread is possibly producing the (data) and the mainline code is the consumer
