Dear people of the internet, I need some help... I have a Python script, main.py in which a user can enter 2 variables First, ReminderTime is an int, second, ReminderText is a string. I want to send the two variables to another Python script, reminder.py. The reminder script will do stuff with the two objects, and then it will use ToastNotifier to make a Windows notification, before shutting down. The main script will still run in the foreground during that time. Is this possible?

CodePudding user response：

You can import your other file reminder.py (make sure they are in the same path):

import reminder

And then you can run a function from reminder.py inside main.py and pass your variables:

reminder.your_function(ReminderTime, ReminderText)

CodePudding user response：

You can use multiprocessing

Simple example:

p = Process(target=f, args=(ReminderTime, ReminderText))
p.start()

f - is function in your reminder.py that will start that script (like main in main.py by default)
args - is all arguments you need to send to this function

Also, you need to import you function import reminder.function_name

This code will start you f function in background, so main code will still runing.
