Call python script from python script

Question

I am trying to call a python script out of a python script and I don't know how to solve my problem. For Linux OS I used to use "touch XYZ.py" and made it an executable script to be run in a different terminal. The results would than be saved to a text file, where the "mother"-script could access them. However I try to make it usable across all platforms. Basically I would like to use only python without the need to interact with the OS.

Thanks for any help

This may be a bit clunky, but here it is:

import os
os.system("python Path/To/Script")

This should work cross-platform, like you asked. Or like the comment said, just import the script.
