Python：如何将从函数 1 接收到的值传递给函数 2

各位读者下午好！我是初学者，请帮助解决以下问题：

有以下功能：

def check_and_select_row (cls, grid, number, date):
    query = sql_query('''select [name] from [ref].[Departments]''')
    main_grid = Driver.get().find_elements_by_xpath(
        '//*[@id="invoiceJournalGrid"]/div[@class="k-grid-content k-auto-scrollable"]/table//tbody/tr')
    x = 1
    y = 0
    number = 0
    date = 0
    for status_check in main_grid:
        while y < len(query):
            if (cls.get_grid_values('Status', x, grid,
                                          mode='get_value') != 'Изъята' and cls.get_grid_values(
                'DestDepartment', x, grid, mode='get_value') not in query[y]):
                cls.get_grid_values('DestDepartment', x, grid, mode='click')
                y += 1
                number = cls.get_grid_values('OutgoingNumber', x, grid, mode='get_value')
                date = cls.get_grid_values('DocDate', x, grid, mode='get_value')
            else:
                y = 0
                x += 1
    return number, date

将选中列的值写入数字和日期变量，根据上面的条件选择列

接下来，我需要在函数2中使用这些值：

def check_expedition_report(cls, number, date):
    check_status = 0
    check_department = 0
    for el in Driver.get().find_elements_by_xpath('//div[@class="textLayer"]/*'):
        if number in el.text:
            check_status = 1
    for el in Driver.get().find_elements_by_xpath('//div[@class="textLayer"]/*'):
        if date in el.text:
            check_department = 1

我检查报告中是否存在从函数 1 中提取的变量值

问题是如何修复代码以使其正常工作？谢谢！
