Question

I have a very big project going on with python. And i need to get script what opens another .py file. I have tried to use script like this:

os.system(“example.py arg”)

And it if the script in file is small like function print or something. But if they are long or something they don’t work ! So i need a script that really works and opens the .py file in command promt. Thank you very much !

Answer 1

Running a script using

os.system("example.py arg")

requires

• the script must be executable (+x bit)
• the must contain the shebang “#!/usr/bin/python” at the beginning of the script
