y.py when i call a variable i use frappe.conf.get(“x”)

Hi, the issue is because frappe.conf requires a Frappe site context to be initialized.

When y.py is executed directly using:

python y.py

it runs as a standalone Python script, so Frappe is not initialized and frappe.conf.get("x") results in:

RuntimeError: object is not bound

The recommended solution is to execute the function through Bench:

bench --site <site-name> execute <app>.<folder>.y.<function_name>

For example, if the structure is:

my_app/
└── my_app/
    └── x/
        └── y.py

and y.py contains:

import frappe

def test():
    value = frappe.conf.get("x")
    print(value)

then run:

bench --site <site-name> execute my_app.x.y.test

If python y.py is specifically required, then y.py needs to initialize the Frappe site context first using frappe.init() and frappe.connect() before accessing frappe.conf.

So the issue is not with frappe.conf.get("x"); it is because the script is being executed outside the Frappe/Bench context.
