Run one Python Script from Another Script - stylingpat - May-03-2021
Hello, if I do import "scriptname" I can load one python script from another. I am trying to make a main script that launches 5 seperate python programs at the same time.. but in different shells.. or windows.. Any way I can do that? Any way to do an import "scriptname" (into its own shell/window?)
