how to write different modules/functions in different files?

You can pass the reference to psspy between files in the function arguments. Lets say you're running one Python file, and you call a function from another file. In the second file, you'd have a function like:

def get_data_from_psse(psspy):
    # code here
    return data

Then, in the main file that you're running, you can import psspy and just pass it to your function in the other file:

import psspy
import other_file
data = other_file.get_data_from_psse(psspy)

I'm not sure that this is the best method, but it works for me.
