In order to execute a Python script from another script, we use the execfile(file[, globals[, locals]]) function.

For example, we have the file b.py (located in "C:\\Python\\b.py") which we want to execute from another script, say a.py

b.py contains the following code:

x=4
print x

a.py contains the following code:

import appuifw, e32
 
def quit(): 
  app_lock.signal()
 
appuifw.app.exit_key_handler=quit
 
#Now we specify the path to the file we want to execute, and give the instruction
f='C:\\Python\\b.py'
execfile(f)
#In some cases there may be a NameError error in the executed script regarding variables not being defined
#To overcome this, use execfile(f, {})
 
app_lock=e32.Ao_lock()
app_lock.wait()

This should display 4 on the screen.
