how do i make my inputs variables global for further processing?

inputs steering throttle and brake do not become global when declared global it seems. they do not update when printed in a list

from inputs import get_gamepad global steeringout global throttleout global brakeout while True: events = get_gamepad() for event in events:

    if event.code == 'ABS_X':
        steering = event.state
        steeringin = 50+(50*steering/32767)
        steeringout = round(steeringin)
        print(steeringout)

    if event.code == 'ABS_RZ':
        throttle = event.state
        throttlein = 50+(50*throttle/255)
        throttleout = round(throttlein)
        print(throttleout)

    if event.code == 'ABS_Z':
        brake = event.state
        brakein = 50-(50*brake/255)
        brakeout = round(brakein)
        print(brakeout)

controller = [steeringout, throttleout, brakeout] print(controller)

i would like to print steering, throttle, brake using controller variable
