run another *.py under a python script

[Dennis Thyboron]

Hope someone can help me, I would like to run another *.py
"test.py" under this def here

def access_denied(serial_com):
    # This is called when a tag has been scanned and denied
    # Write your own logic here to do more on the computer
LIKE RIGHT HERE
    say('Access Denied')
    # Send the letter D for deny
    serial_com.write('D')
    print 'Tag access denied.'

You would use "import" to use the methods of test.py in your current script. Effbot's writeup of import and an example of using import. Note that the directory must be in sys.path so you may have to add the directory containing the program to sys.path first.

I am really a noob at this :(
I can't get it work,, this code I am trying to run inside the main code is this:

#test.py############
import prowlpy

apikey = 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' #Dummy API-key)
p = prowlpy.Prowl(apikey)
try:
    p.add('CatConnect','Cat Outside Door',"!!!!!!!!!!!!")
    
except Exception,msg:
    print msg
#test.py###############################

but i really dont get it how i Run that test.py under the man code:

####MAIN.PY##############
#!/usr/bin/env python

import sys
import os
import sqlite3
import serial
import subprocess
import test
# Change this to the port displayed in your Arduino IDE
# It will be com3 or something for Windows...
serial_port = 'com3'
baud_rate = 9600

# Define the db path to ./rfids.db, relative to this file
sql_file = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), 'tags.db')
needs_creation = not os.path.exists(sql_file)
db_connection = sqlite3.connect(sql_file)
db_connection.row_factory = sqlite3.Row

if needs_creation:
    print 'Creating initial database...'
    cursor = db_connection.cursor()
    cursor.execute("CREATE TABLE rfid_tags (tag_id text, is_enabled integer)")
    db_connection.commit()
    print 'Database created.'
    
def access_denied(serial_com):
    # This is called when a tag has been scanned and denied
    # Write your own logic here to do more on the computer

#right here I would like to run the code

    say('Cat Tag')
    # Send the letter D for deny
    serial_com.write('D')
