Depends.  Usually 
>>> import myfile
or
>>> from myfile import *

But, if you have a file with commands that you need executed in the
current namespace (say, like some generated code do build a GUI menu :-)
then you might want to look at:

>>> execfile('myfile')

What I tell you three times is true.
