Thanks Chris. Sorry for mis-communicating, the two python scripts are
dependant in a way that
 namelookupWrapper.py needs to pass csv record object to another
python script

If thats not possible then please let me know how to do the workaround
i didnt understood the import thing and not sure if it helps in my
case

Here are the details
namelookupwrapper.py - takes input from stdin. Using csv reader object
i iterate thru the input which looks like as shown below

[MemberId, MemberName]
[123,       ]
[456,       ]
[989,       ]


Now i have another script i.e. namelookup.py running under Python 2.7
using pyodbc to retrieve Member Names from database for a given Member
Id in namelooupWrapper.py

So please let me know how to accomplish this
