By and large not straightforwardly possible
At python prompt you call *functions*
At OS prompt you call apps/programs/scripts including python *scripts*
They are different with different calling conventions
However if you look up on the __name__ == '__main__' trick
you can find ways of getting both function call and script call behavior
