I want a peice of code which would run another python file. I would like to be able to run the 2 files simultaneously.
print('Hello World')
run ('this file') #obviously not real code
print('Hello World Agian') #continue with program
i really need the programs to run simultaneously. I dont mind downloading a library to do it.
Update from this comment:
You can try sending a bash command using this code:
import subprocess
process = subprocess.Popen("python script1.py & python script2.py &".split(), stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
output, error = process.communicate()
Bash command from this question, code to run the bash from this question. You need 3 programs: the first to run this code, the second (script1.py) and third (script2.py) will be run by the program.
Original:
I made a class for importing files, although it might be overkill for what you want. You could use just a
import filename
, but if you need to import files with user-inputted names and reimport some of them, you can use this class below:
from importlib import __import__, reload
from sys import modules
class Importer:
libname = ""
import_count = 0
module = None
def __init__(self, name):
self.libname = name
self.import_count = 0
def importm(self):
if self.libname not in modules:
self.module = __import__(self.libname)
else:
self.module = reload(self.module)
self.import_count += 1
# test out Importer
importer = Importer("mymodule")
""" mymodule.py
print("Hello")
"""
importer.importm() # prints Hello
importer.importm() # prints Hello
importer.importm() # prints Hello (again)
print(importer.import_count)
I made this class some time ago for a question that was deleted (10k to view my answer).
