Starting a wxPython application from inside a wxPython application

Anybody knows how to do it? I tried with execfile but it doesn’t work.

If you're using windows you could:

import os
os.startfile("your_python_file.py")

You could also use the subprocess module:

import subprocess
subprocess.call(r"C:\python25\python.exe your_python_file.py")#Wait for
subprocess to terminate

subprocess.Popen(r"C:\python25\python.exe your_python_file.py")#Start
process and continue executing code.

Hello,

import subprocess
subprocess.call(r"C:\python25\python.exe your_python_file.py")#Wait for
subprocess to terminate

Note the the current python executable can be found at sys.executable,
so this will become:
subprocess.call([sys.executable, "you_script.py"])

HTH,
