running a python script trhough another python script raises an error

Question

So I have this script that I need to develop that runs constantly and runs others scripts every month, and in case anything goes wrong I need it to send an email alert, as I was implmenting it I first tested this very simple piece of code

import datetime, time

while True:
    now = datetime.datetime.now()
    if now.strftime("%d") == '10':
        try:
            import download_ibama
        except Exception as e:
            print(e)
            
        time.sleep(86400)

the problem is, it runs the program perfectly as I want it, but it raises an exception telling me that there is no module named "download_ibama" how can I overcome it? cause the program did what I wanted it to do, I want it to raise an exception just in case it doesn't

P.S. "download_ibama" is the other script that i am calling, they're both in the same directory

That depends on your project structure, where `download_ibama` is located, etc... — Tomerikoo, Dec 17 '20 at 14:12
Do you have a file called `download_ibama` created? And I think people need more context — Dock, Dec 17 '20 at 14:13
it is the other script that I am calling, they're both in the same directory — Fabricio_A, Dec 17 '20 at 14:14
try with `reload(download_ibama)` https://docs.python.org/2/library/functions.html#reload but its not a best way — Dulanga Heshan, Dec 17 '20 at 14:26
