Passing variables between functions in Python
<p>Ok so I am having a tough time getting my head around passing variables between functions:</p>

<p>I can't seem to find a clear example. </p>

<p>I do not want to run funa() in funb(). </p>

<pre><code>def funa():
    name=input("what is your name?")
    age=input("how old are you?")
    return name, age

funa()

def funb(name, age):
    print(name)
    print(age)

funb()
</code></pre>

<p>Think of it as passing objects around by using variables and function parameters as references to those objects. When I updated your example, I also changed the names of the variables so that it is clear that the objects live in different variables in different namespaces.</p>

<pre><code>def funa():
    name=input("what is your name?")
    age=input("how old are you?")
    return name, age                   # return objects in name, age

my_name, my_age = funa()               # store returned name, age objects
                                       # in global variables

def funb(some_name, some_age):         # a function that takes name and 
                                       # age objects
    print(some_name)
    print(some_age)

funb(my_name, my_age)                  # use the name, age objects in the
                                       # global variables to call the function
</code></pre>
