You can also use os.system:

os.system("script2.py")
os.system("script3.py")

In script1 you need to import script2 and script3:

At the top of script1:

import script2
import script3

To run a function from script2 for example:

script2.function()

You may also need to add a blank file called __init__.py in the same directory as the scripts, so that python can see that the directory is a library.

You can use 

    execfile("script2.py")
    execfile("script3.py")

or

    subprocess.call("script2.py")
    subprocess.call("script3.py")
