To run one Python script from another you import it and then invoke one 
of its functions (or create an object from a class defined in it, but 
that's a bit complex for this example). For instance, if your files are 
like;

script1.py
---
def test1(msg):
     print msg

script2.py
---
import script1
script1.test1("Hello Sophie")

Then, at the command line type

C:> python script2.py

And you should see;
Hello Sophie

This sort of thing is covered quite extensively in the Python tutorial 
and other learner materials. I'd encourage you to visit 
http://www.python.org/topics/learn/ for a few pointers.

There is also a mailing list specifically for people learning Python, 
you can find details of it here 
http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor

Andy
