Just import the other module and call a function from it?
Or use os.system or whatever.

More info needed for better answers.

If you want to run another python program from within a python program
rather than just calling functions in another module, you can use the
builtin function execfile. help(execfile) gives the details:

Help on built-in function execfile:

execfile(...)
execfile(filename[, globals[, locals]])

Read and execute a Python script from a file.
The globals and locals are dictionaries, defaulting to the current
globals and locals. If only globals is given, locals defaults to it.
