Unless you need different processes, it's better to just create one 
application with several functions, like this:

#v+
def one():
     pass

def two():
     pass

def three():
     pass

def main():
     one()
     two()
     three()

main()
#v-

If you *really* need to execute Python scripts from within Python, you 
can use execfile(). If you want to execute arbitrary programs and wait 
for their completion, you can use the system() function in the os module.
