If you're in the same directory as your target script you can use

from testPrint02 import x

Where x is the function you want to import.

Edit: To import a module from a string variable you can use importlib as described here: import module from string variable

Hi imant, thank you for the answer, but what i wanna ask is how to import/ call another script from the string, because i try to create a script to call all my script (choose one of the script from the list, and click button to run it) – Angga Oct 02 '16 at 11:54
For this you might want to use importlib: `from importlib import import_module`, `i = import_module(a[1])`. You can then use `i.justPrintIt()`. – imant Oct 02 '16 at 12:06
