import first.py 
import second.py

but one only of them is working.

---EDIT---

  • Take a look at the `threading` module. Anyway, in order for your question to be answered, please clarify your question editing the answer and providing more information. – Employee Jan 15 '19 at 13:27

You need to use threading and subprocess like this:

import threading
import subprocess
import sys

def run_process(path):
    cmd = 'python %s' % path
    process = subprocess.Popen(cmd, shell=True, stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
    for line in iter(process.stdout.readline, ''):
        sys.stdout.write(line)

t1 = threading.Thread(target=run_process, args=('path_to_first.py',))
t2 = threading.Thread(target=run_process, args=('path_to_second.py',))

#start
t1.start()
t2.start()

# Waiting
t1.join()
t2.join()

    Running a second Python instance in a `subprocess` seems excessive. Just give the second thread a function within the other module to run. – tripleee Jan 15 '19 at 13:51
