Executing external Python file in background and get output in python - nakiscia - Feb-15-2018

I have an python file that takes some inputs and print outputs according to these inputs. I am try to execute this script in another script. All I need to do is sending some parameters to this file and getting the outputs in this script.

The script that I need to be executed :

while True:
  print("Sabah 1")
  print("Oglen 2")
  print("Aksam 3")
  print("Gece 4")
  print("---------")


  secim = raw_input("Gun icerisindeki zaman dilimini giriniz")

  isim = raw_input("Isminizi giriniz.")


  if (secim=='1') : 
      print("Gunaydin"+isim)
  elif (secim == '2'):
      print("Tunaydin"+isim)
  elif (secim == '3'):
      print("iyi aksamlar"+isim)
  elif (secim == '4'):
      print("Iyi geceler"+isim)
  else:
      print("Program sonlandiriliyor")
      break
The script that should execute the script above :

import subprocess, threading, time
can_break = False

def run():
    args = ['python','odev2.py','arg1','arg2']
    popen = subprocess.Popen(args,shell=False,stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
    while not can_break:
        print(popen.stdout.readline())


t = threading.Thread(target=run)

try:
    t.start()
    while True: 
        print('Main Thread.... ')
        time.sleep(1)
except KeyboardInterrupt:
    can_break_break = True
