导入后如何返回主脚本

Question

I'm creating a script and have sucsessfully called on a second one, however, when the second one completes. The program just crashes - is it possible so after the import script section as completed, it will then continue back on the main script.

EG

My main one, which is titled Login_MainMenu.py as this script in:

if command == ('caesar'):
     import os
     os.system('caesarCipher.py')
     time.sleep(2)
     print("Your task is now completed")
     sys.exit()

I'm assuming I'd have to put something at the end of caesarCipher.py, which for now is:

mode = getMode()
message = getMessage()
key = getKey()

print("\nYour translated text is:     ")
print(getTranslatedMessage(mode, message, key))

Anyone got any ideas on how to do it?

Thank you.

There's nothing you have to do to return back. If it's crashing, you have a bug somewhere, but since you didn't tell us what the error message was, there's no way to help you.

However, you should not be running your other script via os.system . Import it and call its functions directly.

import caesarCipher
caesarCipher.get_translated_message()

assuming you've put the code into a function called get_translated_message , anyway.
