[SOLVED] Run multiple python scripts concurrently

Issue

How can I run multiple python scripts? At the moment I run one like so python script1.py.

I've tried python script1.py script2.py and that doesn't work: only the first script is run. Also, I've tried using a single file like this;

import script1
import script2

python script1.py
python script2.py

However this doesn't work either.


Solution

With Bash: 

python script1.py &
python script2.py &

That's the entire script. It will run the two Python scripts at the same time.

Python could do the same thing itself but it would take a lot more typing and is a bad choice for the problem at hand.

I think it's possible though that you are taking the wrong approach to solving your problem, and I'd like to hear what you're getting at.
