For example I have in PyCharm:
Script1.py
from selenium import webdriver
import time
PATH = "C:\Program Files (x86)\chromedriver.exe"
driver = webdriver.Chrome(PATH)
driver.get("https://www.youtube.com/?hl=pl&gl=PL")
time.sleep(1)
driver.close()
Script2.py
import YtTest.py
import time
i = 0
while i < n:
execfile("YtTest.py")
i += 1
How to make import properly and execute Script1.py and loop it N times (all in Script2.py)?
Commonly, one would use a function for this
You can run the script independently by clever use of the __name__ property too
script1.py
def my_function():
"whatever logic"
if __name__ == "__main__": # this guard prevents running on import
my_function()
script2.py
from script1 import my_function
def main():
for _ in range(10): # run my_function() 10 times
my_function()
if __name__ == "__main__":
main()
This code style is extremely useful for a variety of import-related activities, such as unit testing
You could make a function in script 1 like this:
Script1.py
from selenium import webdriver
import time
PATH = "C:\Program Files (x86)\chromedriver.exe"
def my_func():
driver = webdriver.Chrome(PATH)
driver.get("https://www.youtube.com/?hl=pl&gl=PL")
time.sleep(1)
driver.close()
if __name__ == "__main__":
my_func()
Script2.py
from script1 import my_function
i = 0
while i < n:
script1.my_function()
i += 1
To adapt with your needs.
