  • You can import the file without the ```py``` extension, then call the ```pullData``` –  Aug 12 '21 at 15:08

You can import your function(s) and find it in globals() dictionary:

from your_module import pullData, other_function1, other_function2

function_name = 'pullData'
function = globals()[function_name]

returned_value = function(price, allprice)

another way is to import the module and get the function from its attributes:

import your_module

function_name = 'pullData'
function = getattr(your_module, function_name)

returned_value = function(price, allprice)

from <file_name> import pullData

Where file_name is the file that exposts the function pullData
