declaimed the following:

>import time
>global Sens_Raw1, Sens_Raw2, Sens_Raw3, Sens_Raw4, Sens_Raw5, Sens_Raw6, Sens_Raw7, Sens_Raw8, Sens_Raw9, Sens_Raw10

	This statement does nothing... In Python, "global" is used /inside/ a
function to indicate that the function is referring to a name that exists
outside of the function (but inside the same module/file as the function).

>This is the program I am trying to adjust. The goal is to make Sens_Raw1 to 10 global so I can use it in other programs on the Raspberry Pi. The print Sensor wordks fine.

	To make them available to "other programs" means you'll have to save
them to a file that the other programs can read.
