getting odd error when calling python script within another python script

I am getting an IOError when calling a python script(script2) within another python script(script1).

Script 2 runs fine if called stand alone, however, if I call it from within script one, i get the following error.

C:\>C:\Python32\python.exe R:\Scripts\BatchAging.py

Cleaner is to import the script and run its main method:

import DeleteAgingFiles
DeleteAgingFiles.main()

Adding a main method to your script:

def main():
    # the main code goes here

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

The best solution to this problem, is, I would think, don't use call to access the other python script. Instead, import it as a module and call its functions directly.
