How can I make one python file run another? [duplicate]

Answer 1

Get one python file to run another, using python 2.7.3 and Ubuntu 12.10:

1. Put this in main.py:

   #!/usr/bin/python
   import yoursubfile
   

2. Put this in yoursubfile.py

   #!/usr/bin/python
   print("hello")
   

3. Run it:

   python main.py 
   

4. It prints:

   hello
   

Thus main.py runs yoursubfile.py
