Python script that runs 3 py scripts

Question

I want to execute three python script that I have developed. I found one doubt, how could I do it using a python script?

I want to convert it into a .exe, because our solution is thought to be executed in machines without python installed so having an unique script would be helpful.

Edit: I don't know the cause of the closure of my old question, I know how to use pyinstaller, my question was how can I execute 3 python using a python script or if it is possible. Please, if you are gonna close a question be sure that the question is duplicated, you are unranking me in the forum.

Any suggestion? Thanks!

So can't you just use one main program that runs the scripts, and then use pyinstaller? — Heikura, May 25 '21 at 08:26
Can you please show how these 3 python scripts are related and run/used? It's not clear what's the problem, why can't you just have 1 main .py file that calls these 3 other python scripts? — Gino Mempin, May 25 '21 at 10:26

If you have three separate python scripts, I assume that you could just create, for example, one main.py script that calls your scripts in order:

Example main.py:

import script1
import script2
import script3

def main():
   script1()
   script2()
   script3()
   # Or you might have some kind of starting function e.g. script.starting_function()

if __name__ == "__main__":
   main()

Then just convert the python files to an .exe-file with pyinstaller.

Or did you mean something different with your question?

If you want to run them in separate command windows with different interpreters, try the following:

import os
import sys

file_name = "testfile.py"
os.system(sys.executable + file_name)

or if you want to change folders aswell:

import os
import sys

file_path = "C:/Your_folder/"
# For Windows/Linux compatibility: file_path = "C:" + os.sep + "Your_folder" + os.sep
file_name = "myfile.py"

os.system("cd " + file_path + " & " + sys.executable + " " + file_name )
