Not sure if this is what you mean, but:
Say you have the files efunc.py and trytry.py in the same folder.

*The content of efunc.py is:*
def funky():
    print 'funkytown'

*The content of trytry.py is:*
import efunc

efunc.funky()

*Output would be:*
name at ububox:~$ python trytry.py
funkytown
name at ububox:~$

trtry.py "easily and automatically" uses the code from efunc.py It calls the
function funky(). Granted this is a prety silly example, but is that what
you mean by using code written by someone else? You do this with modules all
the time, like import os, import glob, etc. Any .py file imported into
another .py file is a module, granted most of them are a bit more useful
than efunc.py
