How to link two python scripts

[buran]

So to avoid this in the future I should always use the BBCode URL tags instead of copy and paste directly into my message, is that it?

yes, paste the link, select it, then click on chain icon to add url tag and again paste the url in the pop-up window for url address
I also was not aware that forum auto convert ftp links to http. obviously if it does not detect http schema in the link, it add it. it will look like this:

[url=ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sra/wgs_aux/AI/NZ/AINZ01/AINZ01.1.fsa_nt.gz]ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sra/wgs_aux/AI/NZ/AINZ01/AINZ01.1.fsa_nt.gz[/url]
