Read and manipulate objects from another module [Python + Maya]

Question

Thank you for your patience, I'm not a great coder but I would try to do my best simplifying all my rigging stuff. I searched everywhere on the net, if I'm asking right now it's because I clearly can't understand somewhat.

I'm creating an auto-rigger tool and I'm declaring some curves in main.py. Actually I created a particular curve with more than seventy CVs and so, in main.py, I have this thing long about twenty rows. Navigate what I wrote is becoming awful. So, for now, I want to have a better order moving this object in another module called UI_library.py.

In UI_library.py I declared some function to access my clavController object.

.../UI_library.py

def createClav():
        clavController = cmds.curve(d=1, p=[coordinates])

In main.py I call the func.

.../main.py

import UI_library as libs
clavController = libs.createClav()

The newClav curve is generated in my Maya scene and when I execute

print(newClav) 

The result is none and at this point I'm stuck because I can't use the curve I built

Should I create global var between files? Learn and use classes? I thought this would be a simple work of "translation". Thank you again
