directory = []

for dirpath, dirnames, filenames in os.walk(\         


        

Answer 1

You can use the locals argument of execfile(). Write the scripts like this:

def run_script():
    ret_value = 2
    return ret_value

script_ret = run_script()

And in your main script:

script_locals = dict()
execfile("path/to/script", dict(), script_locals)
print(script_locals["script_ret"])
