I\'d like to import that from another module

Answer 1

The correct answer has been already given however it is confined in a comments (see How to import a module as __main__? and How to import a module as __main__?).

The same with proper formatting:

import runpy
runpy.run_module("your.module.name", {}, "__main__")

or

import runpy
runpy.run_path("path/to/my/file.py", {}, "__main__")
