[Tutor] another ?-->if I created test.py how do I run test.pyin hello.py and also how do I run it again in hello.py?

 I just thought that if you have a block of code that works on its own, you
could use that block in a different program if you wanted.  I wanted to know
how to originally call that block of code, and how to use it again in the
same program if you wanted to.  Like for example if you created an option
off a pull down menu that executes a python program, how do you get it so
that you can execute that option again.

BTW, thank you very much for your assistance so far.

Thanks,

p.s. I am learning quite a bit considering I only just got Python last
Friday.  :)
