Run a python script as an exe and run a new process from it

[Paddy O'Loughlin]

Try this as an outline:
#### script1.py
from subprocess import Popen

if __name__ == '__main__':
	scriptname = "script2.py"

	Popen("python %s" % scriptname, shell=True)


	print "I'm done"


#### script2.py
from time import sleep

if __name__ == '__main__':
    while (True):
        print "waiting.."
        sleep(2)

If you install python using the Windows Installer (.exe), it should
set up .py files to be opened by python when double-clicking on them.
Alternatively, you can right-click on your .py file and go to "Open
With..." then "choose program", then click "Browse...", you can Browse
to the python executable, so Explorer will use it to open .py files
when you double-click on them.

As someone else mentioned there is also a py2exe program. Google it.
