How can I run multiple python files at the same time in Mac OSX

Question

I have been searching and every solution I find is for Windows specific. I am looking for a way to run multiple python programs at one time. I have tried

import test1

import test2

and i only get one of them at a time. I am needing both to be ran at the same time.

Any help is appreciated!

To run Python code in parallel, please refer to the module multiprocessing .

from multiprocessing import Process

def first_import():
    import test1

def second_import():
    import test2


if __name__ == '__main__':
    first_process = Process(target=first_import)
    second_process = Process(target=second_import)
    first_process.start()
    second_process.start()
    first_process.join()
    second_process.join()
