How can I call a dictionary created in one function to another?

I have tried using How do I access a dictionary from a function to be used in another function? but it doesn't work for me.

I have created dictionary1 in server() and I want to use it in create_csv().

How can I call it?

def server(id):dictionary1 = dict(zip(temp_sourcenodes, sip))dictionary1.update(dict(zip(temp_destnodes, dip)))print(dictionary1)def create_csv():

Use return and call server from within create_csv. This may necessitate feeding id_ to create_csv, but this is likely reasonable, as presumably dictionary1 is constructed based on id_.

def server(id_):# some code to construct dictionary1return dictionary1def create_csv(id_):my_dict = server(id_)# export to csv here
