Pass flask view values to the rest of the codes to use

Question

vaa = 1
@app.route('/', methods=['POST', 'GET'])
def index():

    if request.method == 'POST':
        global vaa
        vaa = request.form.get('age')


    return render_template('index.html', vaa )

This are the things i want to be able to do with the values from the view function.

myage = vaa

def fun(vaa):

    return vaa


if __name__ == "__main__":
    app.run(debug=True)

I want to pass a value from the view down to the rest of the code, not to another view function, using global variable don't work, any help, please.

Maybe you could store the value in sessions ?

from flask import Flask , session, render_template  
app = Flask(__name__)  
app.secret_key = "abc"  
 
@app.route('/', methods=['POST', 'GET'])
def index():
    if request.method == 'POST':
        vaa = request.form.get('age')
        session["age"] = vaa
    else :
        return render_template('index.html', age = vaa )


@app.route('/age', methods=['POST', 'GET'])
def get_age():
    return render_template('age.html', user_age = session['age'])
