So, all I want is opening a Python script with a Python script? I want the equivalent of 'Python script.py'. Can someone explain how can I execute a. py file. How can I use subprocess to do that? Thanks in advance

With the subprocess module:

import subprocess

subprocess.run(['python', 'script.py'])

If you want to use the same python as the caller you can do:

import subprocess
import sys

subprocess.run([sys.executable, 'script.py'])

There are several ways:

subprocess.call(command)
subprocess.check_call(command)
subprocess.check_output(command)
subprocess.run(command)
os.system(command)

(Each of them has it's own features and you can search in SO to find their differences. I usually use os.system(command))

Also I found THIS: os.exec*** are realy helpful in these situations
