[Fixed]-How to increment a variable in another script through importing?

2.py is run for each file and has no knowledge of the counter set in a previous run. One solution is to only run 2.py once and pipe in the files you want processed:

import sys
import time

def callme(filename):
    print filename

for count,line in enumerate(sys.stdin):
    if count and not(count % 10):
        print('sleeping')
        time.sleep(1) # I got bored.... make that 10
    callme(line.strip())

And your script becomes

find /home/some/SomeElse/HeyMore -type f | python 2.py

If you don’t want find hanging around pumping data, you could pull the files in all at once and then process them

filenames = [line.strip() for line in sys.stdin.readlines()]
