There are more than a few ways  I ll list them in order of inverted preference  i e   best first  worst last     Treat it like a module  import file  This is good because it s secure  fast  and maintainable  Code gets reused as it s supposed to be done  Most Python libraries run using multiple methods stretched over lots of files  Highly recommended  Note that if your file is called file py  your import should not include the  py extension at the end  The infamous  and unsafe  exec command  Insecure  hacky  usually the wrong answer  Avoid where possible    execfile  file py   in Python 2 exec open  file py   read    in Python 3  Spawn a shell process  os system  python file py    Use when desperate
