One way to do it is to use the subprocess module

 Help with Code Tags 
 python Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
import subprocess as SP
child_process = SP.Popen(["python", "t.py"])
import subprocess as SP
child_process = SP.Popen(["python", "t.py"])

Not sure what your asking?

Do you mean you want to create:

1. a thread which exists in the current process
2. a new process which exists independently

you're not making much sense... Do you want to have that processes running on another thread so you can continue doing something else? Do you just want to execute that little script then after it finishes it moves on? What are you trying to do EXACTLY?

ov3rcl0ck, for example, i have code:

...commands1...
...commands2...
call to t.py and imediately go on next command3
...commands3...
...commands4...

and i think separate process is the best in this time

First off Subprocess is a default module for python, next subprocess doesn't spawn a new thread, you need the multithreading module that comes default with the interpreter, also knowing object orientated programming will help. Try this little example:

 Help with Code Tags 
 Python Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
import threading
 
class THREAD(threading.Thread):
	def __init__(self,ARG1,ARG2):
		#If you change the arugments of __init__ modify the bellow also
		self.arg1=ARG1
		self.arg2=ARG2
	def run(self):
		#THIS IS WERE YOUR CODE GOES!
 
t=THREAD(ARG1,ARG2)
t.start()
t.join()
import threading

class THREAD(threading.Thread):
	def __init__(self,ARG1,ARG2):
		#If you change the arugments of __init__ modify the bellow also
		self.arg1=ARG1
		self.arg2=ARG2
	def run(self):
		#THIS IS WERE YOUR CODE GOES!

t=THREAD(ARG1,ARG2)
t.start()
t.join()

The easiest way to do it is make a thread out of a function but this will lose alot of functionality and is a messy way of doing things IMO. Here it is:

 Help with Code Tags 
 Python Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
import threading,thread
 
def THREAD(ARG1,ARG2):
	#YOUR CODE
thread.start_new_thread(THREAD, (ARG1,ARG2))
import threading,thread

def THREAD(ARG1,ARG2):
	#YOUR CODE
thread.start_new_thread(THREAD, (ARG1,ARG2))

ARG1,ARG2=1,2

t=THREAD(ARG1,ARG2)

error:

Forgot a line. But you do realize this is an example and i posted it so you can adjust it to your needs, if you don't understand it you're not ready for threading, so this script probably won't work, and if it does its not gonna do anything.If you don't understand it you're not ready for threading.
