I agree with others that you appear to be describing a “shell”:

    In computing, a shell is a user interface for access to an operating
    system's services. In general, operating system shells use either a
    command-line interface (CLI) or graphical user interface (GUI),
    depending on a computer's role and particular operation.

When writing your own programs, organise them on the filesystem in a way
that makes sense for you (Python's modules, packages, and imports will
respond to your filesystem layout once you learn how to arrange them).

Then, use the operating system shell to invoke the program you want on
each occasion.
