Q:

Return statement not working python 3

The idea of this code is, the user presses the first button and enters what they want, then they press the second button and it prints it out. Can someone please tell me why my return statement is not working? It says that 'variable' is not defined. Thanks in advance for taking the time to read my question.
from tkinter import*

def fun():
    variable = input('Enter Here:')
    return variable

def fun_2():
    print(variable)

window = Tk()
button = Button(text = 'Button', command = fun )
button2 = Button(text = 'Button2', command = fun_2 )
button.pack()
button2.pack()

window.mainloop()

A:

In python when you create a variable inside of a function, it is only defined within that function. Therefore other functions will not be able to see it.
In this case, you will probably want some shared state within an object. Something like:
class MyClass:
  def fun(self):
    self.variable = input('Enter Here:')

  def fun_2(self):
    print(self.variable)

mc = MyClass()

window = Tk()
button = Button(text = 'Button', command = mc.fun )
button2 = Button(text = 'Button2', command = mc.fun_2 )
button.pack()
button2.pack()
