how to call one python script from another python script.

[manjarigoyal]

I have 5 python scripts and right now I run first script then after it finishes then I run 2 script and son on. Can anyone tell me how to add all these script so that If I run first script it should call the 2 script once the first one is done and then call the third script when second script is done. I am still learning working with Python. Any help is appreciated. Attached are two scripts for the reference.

Python.zip

Script1.py Script2.py Script3.py Script4.py Script5.py

Thanks

There are more than a few ways. I'll list them in order of inverted preference (i.e., best first, worst last):

1. Treat it like a module: import file. This is good because it's secure, fast, and maintainable. Code gets reused as it's supposed to be done. Most Python libraries run using multiple methods stretched over lots of files. Highly recommended. Note that if your file is called file.py, your import should not include the .py extension at the end.

2. The infamous (and unsafe) exec command: Insecure, hacky, usually the wrong answer. Avoid where possible. execfile('file.py') in Python 2 exec(open('file.py').read()) in Python 3

3. Spawn a shell process: os.system('python file.py'). Use when desperate.
