Answer 2

The simplest way:
Put all the code of the python file in a main() function.
Import it as a module (e.g. import snake)
Run the main function (e.g. snake.main() )

Another way is using command line arguments but I feel like it's more for geeks.

Answer 3

LONGTIE👔 of course you can
if your test.py has worked() and failed() inside, you can use them from the module "test"

Answer 4

import os
os.system("python {.py-file}")

# or

import subprocess
subprocess.run("python {.py-file}")

Answer 5

LONGTIE👔
if __name__ == "__main__":
main()

Answer 6

LONGTIE👔 of course with quotes, it's written as a text file and saved as a py file, which can be a module that you can import😀

Answer 7

LONGTIE👔 oh, if you mean the module file, yes😀

Answer 8

LONGTIE👔 what do you mean?🤔

Flandre Scarlet
like this

import test

x = 1
y = 0
while x < 10:
if x == 5:
test.worked()
print("file ran")
y = 1
if x == 6 and y == 0:
test.failed()
break
x += 1

of course in this code failed would never be called bit it's just a example

Answer 13

Kirk Schafer all the codes and treads you posted are about writing and running a python code in a code.
not really what i asked about, but interesting none the less.

Answer 14

Flandre Scarlet so like....?

if __name__ == "__main__":
main():
print("hello world")

then
import test_main.py

x = 1
if x == 1:
test_main.main()

the output would be
hello world

Answer 15

LONGTIE👔 I admit to being a little confused then. As far as I know we can't run another Python file here without creating something to run first and then pretending the file already existed.

(I don't mind deleting that post as too much content; seems there's no need for it)

Answer 16

Kirk Schafer its ok, you can keep it there. I might need to refer to it.

Answer 17

Flandre Scarlet cool, thanks again 👍✌
