Sikulix 1.1.0 handler return value

Asked by Dr. Xenofon Nastos

I have the following problem: an onChange Event fires a handler that reads some text using OCR and puts this in a string variable.
I want to access this variable from outside the handler. Unfortunately this doesn't work as I thought it would:

def changed(event):
    menustring = event.getChanges()[0].text()
    return menustring

Any idea?
