I have this assignment where they implemented a function fetch(url) that fetches a url and caches it per user if it was fetched by that user before. I need to write a function did_fetch(user, url) that checks if some url was fetched by some user, and when I try to set the os.environ['USER'] to user I get a lot of errors, is there a way to 'send' an environ variable to a function written in a different file? I tried this code: from Root.fetch import fetch import time import os def did_fetch(user, url): #return if url has been fetched by user os.environ['USER'] = user start = time.time() fetch(url) if time.time() - start > 0.1: #simulate the time it takes to fetch a non cached url return False return True Obviously it's not the right way to go about it, any ideas what I did wrong?
