Execute a script from other file

I want to know if it's possible to import/include a script into other one?

In my case, my main script asked simply a choice from the user. And according to this choice, I want to include the other script.

print (30 * '-')
print ("   M A I N - M E N U")
print (30 * '-')
print 'Information'
print (30 * '-')
print ("1. Choice 1")
print ("2. Choice 2")
print ("3. Choice 3")
print (30 * '-')

is_valid=0

while not is_valid :
        try :
                choice = int ( raw_input('Enter your choice [1-3] : ') )
                is_valid = 1 ## set it to 1 to validate input and to terminate the while..not loop
        except ValueError, e :
                print ("'%s' is not a valid integer." % e.args[0].split(": ")[1])
if choice == 1:
        # Here I want to include the other script from other file.

As DyZ said, take a look at importing modules.

as a simple example, suppose that you have the following folder structure

  • src/
    • main.py
    • moduleA/
      • __init__.py
      • menu.py

If you run the above code under src, you can import menu.py in main.py like:

from moduleA import menu

ps.: arguments can be easily parsed with: https://docs.python.org/3.3/library/argparse.html
