[Python] Python import function from file1 to file2, cannot access global vars loaded in file2...

file1

from file3 import helper_func # a function
from file3 import fixed_var # a constant (type string)

def new_func(id):
url = fixed_var + f'_and_{id}'
output = helper_func(url)
return output


file2 attempt1

from file1 import new_func

new_func('words')
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for +: 'NoneType' and 'str'


file2 attempt2

from file3 import helper_func # a function
from file3 import fixed_var # a constant
from file1 import new_func

new_func('words')
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for +: 'NoneType' and 'str'


The error is thrown both times for the line url = f'{fixed_var}_{id}'. fixed_var is None in both attempt1 and attempt2. Presumably, even if i were to get past this line, the next line would throw an error along the lines of cannot find function helper_func.

How can I import new_func from file1 into file2 and use?
