How to join two separate python proram into one file?

Question

I've make two separate program and make a main.py to as menu so that i can choose what file to open.

I wrote it like this

While True:
   print("Menu 1")
   print("Menu 2")
   ...

   choice = input(">")
   if choice =="1":
      import file_1
   elif choice =="2":
       import file_2

At first it work, but when get out of file_1 or any file inside that, the import are not open again.

Does import cannot open file twice?

No Imports should be carried out at the start according to the pep convention but one import can only import a module once. — Navaneeth Reddy, Nov 29 '20 at 13:09
It's hard to tell from this, but I don't think import does what you think it does. Try reading this https://docs.python.org/3/reference/import.html. it's not used to "call" code in other files, but to allow you to use functions, classes, etc declared in other files. — dpwr, Nov 29 '20 at 13:11

You can import both files and use it based on your condition.Something like this.

import file1
import file2
def main():
      print("Menu 1")
      print("Menu 2")
      choice = input(">")
      if choice =="1":
          // use instances of file_1 e.g  
               result = file1.function1(x,y,z)

      elif choice =="2":
          //use instances of file 2

main()
