Hi,
It's better to specify version of python you work with. I know nothing
about python 3 but in python 2 you can do this with `exec`. Example:

f = file('otherFile.py')
exec f

For more, read the doc:
http://docs.python.org/2.7/reference/simple_stmts.html#the-exec-statement

Absolutely.


I know nothing

about python 3 but in python 2 you can do this with `exec`. Example:

Py 2 has execfile that does the above. Py 3 do as above except that exec
is a function.

with open('otherfile.py') as f:
exex(f)
