Not if the proper associations are set up in the registry...
I run most of my python programs by typing "program.py".
(But it's getting to be a pain renaming them all to "program.py"
 whenever I want to run them.)

Although, breaking it out into two statements wouldn't be a bad idea.
i.e.:
spam = os.popen('script1.py')
spam.readlines()

Say, is script1.py in your path?  You might also check the value of the
current directory (os.curdir), and make sure script1.py is somewhere in
there.

Later,
Blake.
