Prompt(Originally in Japanese):
In an interactive Python session, is there a way to execute an external Python script?

Response by ChatGPT -4o
--------
Yes, there are several ways to execute an external Python script within an interactive Python session (e.g., IPython or Jupyter Notebook). Here are some methods:
1. Using the exec Function

You can use the exec function to execute Python code as a string.

python

  with open('path/to/your_script.py') as file:
    script = file.read()
  exec(script)

2. Using the subprocess Module

You can also use the subprocess module to execute the script as a shell command.

python

  import subprocess

  subprocess.run(['python', 'path/to/your_script.py'])

3. Using the %run Magic Command (IPython/Jupyter Notebook Only)

In IPython or Jupyter Notebook, you can use the %run magic command to execute the script.

python

%run path/to/your_script.py

4. Using importlib

You can use importlib to import and execute the script as a module.

python

  import importlib.util
  import sys

  script_path = 'path/to/your_script.py'
  module_name = 'your_script'

  spec = importlib.util.spec_from_file_location(module_name, script_path)
  module = importlib.util.module_from_spec(spec)
  sys.modules[module_name] = module
  spec.loader.exec_module(module)

These methods allow you to execute external Python scripts within an interactive Python session. Choose the method that best suits your needs and context.
