Note, however, that if the main() function in module two or three
uses command line paramters, you may have to trick it as follows:

  import sys

  main()               # run code in one
  sys.argv = ['junk', 'argval1', 'argval2']
  two.main()   # run code in two
  sys.argv = ['junk', 'argval3', 'argval4']
  three.main() # run code in three

By the way, I just tried this.  It works.

But, take a look at the main function in modules two and three.
It may be just as easy to call the function(s) it calls.
