Script executes script?

[Mipe]

Hello,

for a testmodule I need to execute a python script from within a
python script. Something like:

-- ScriptA -->
import whatever

RunScript("scriptb.py")
RunScript("scriptc.py")
<-- Script A --

Is this possible? I didn't find a possibility to do this.

Would be nice if you could give me some advice here.

Thank you,
Mipe

Hi !


Try execfile(

Try execfile(

Alternatively, on Unix at least,

import os
os.system('other.py')

Assuming other.py is an executable. This will give you a completely new
interpreter.

Bonjour !

It's OK also with windows, like popen, pawn, etc.
But execfile( is more fast, and need minus memory.

import os
path_to_python = "c:\\Python23\\python.exe"
path_to_script = "e:\\temp\\test.py"
os.system(path_to_python + " " + path_to_script)

import os
path_to_python = "c:\\Python23\\python.exe"
path_to_script = "e:\\temp\\test.py"
os.system(path_to_python + " " + path_to_script)

Ugh. At least use sys.executable to find the
interpreter if you're going to do it this way.

Of course. Occasionally you want an extra process, however!
