importing a .py script into another script

[bserce123]

I am trying to learn how to call one .py script from another.
I have a python script 'hiya.py'. This contains only one line:- print('hello you'). From the terminal the command python3 hiya.py displays 'hello you'. So i have another script 'doit.py' which has two lines:-
import hiya.py
python3 hiya.py
This doesn't work. So if I turn the code in 'hiya.py' into:-
def writit():
print('hello you')
return

and change 'doit' to:-
import hiya.py
writit()
it still doesn't work.

So would some kind person give me the code that would work?

You should not add ".py" to your import section. Look here for more info on python modules: https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/modules.html

Many thanks for that, it is exactly what I needed, I had previously been reading up 'import' and had got horribly lost.
