How can I run another Python script in a Python script?

Question

I would like to run a Python script in another Python script. I understand that the best way to do that is importing that script. But I couldn't figure out how I can run that script every 60 seconds. What I have tried so far:

 import time
 import mailyolla
 while(1):
 mailyolla
 time.sleep(60)

and

 import time
 while(1):
 import mailyolla
 time.sleep(60)

Neither worked. What should I do?

Answer 1

You should define a main() function in your mailyolla file that is executing the task you want. Then, the above script would look like:

import time
import mailyolla
while(True):
 mailyolla.main()
 time.sleep(60)
