Execute other python script when django server is started

I have a Django project and other python script which is a ZMQ socket which continuously listens for message to perform some operation, ZMQ server script is an independent script which for now runs as python zmq_server.py in a terminal or cmd.

What I am trying to do is start the ZMQ server script when python manage.py runserver is called to start the django server.

I did some digging but found nothing related to this, is it possible to do something like this?

You can run any script when your Django server starts by importing it in your settings.py at the top like this:

import zmq_server

Normally that's what you'd do for a script you're going to use in your project, but if you just want it to get executed you can do it like that as well.
