how to execute a python script file with an argument from inside another python script file

Question

my problem is that I want to execute a python file with an argument from inside another python file to get the returned values....

I don\'t know if I\'ve explained

Answer 1

I suggest you reorganized your getCameras.py, wrap the get camera list code in a method called get_cameras(). Then you can call this method in other python scripts.

getCameras.py

def get_cameras():
bulabula...
if __name__ == '__main__':
return get_cameras()

How to use: other.py

import getCameras
camera_list = getCameras.get_cameras()
