    Hi all,

    I have a very basic question. I was wondering if I can have a function

    Yes, the separate file become a module.
    and in my main file sort of import that function and
    Yes. either of

    import somemod # and use somemod.func

    from somemod import func # and use func
    if so are all the variables local
    The function can access built-in objects and objects in the module it is
    defined in. Otherwise, it has locals just as usual.
    and if I need any variables in the function I should give it as an input?
    Yes.
    I need to call a function in many different tasks and I am improving
    that function so I prefer to make the changes only once. If you have any
    example I really appreciate it.
    Look at Python coded files in the the standard library. Look in
    ..../Pythonx.y/Lib to find them.
