Getting variables contained in other python files

How can you get status of a variable defined in another python file.
Such as:
In main.py you have :
password = input("enter password")
then i have a password or list of passwords in another python file called passwords.py

How would you print the password defined in another file?
and how would use the if then statement to get a list of passwords and find out if it is on the list?

do this...

from passwords import variable
print(f'{variable}')

or you can do this

from passwords import *
print(f'{variable_you_want}')

and the last way is this

import passwords
print(f'{passwords.variable}')

@replitcode Why use the f-string if you only need the variable?

@replitcode ayo listen I don't think you will respond cause I am typing this in 2022 but It does not work it just says ''from command import *' used; unable to detect undefined names

@Prarambh i'm still active. the reason it doesn't work is because it was deprecated as a function. also my partner that use to co-run this account was the one that wrote this. thanks for letting me know though.
