If you have a script that is self-programming (producing sequenced,
numbered scripts 1.py 2.py 3.py) then why not just prefix an alpha
character a1.py a2.py a3.py ?
Otherwise, are you just pulling our chain? :)
On the other hand, if you open IDLE and then open the 1.py module (yes,
that's a dumb name) and then click run--> run module it will import and
run... assuming 1.py contains some valid python code.
Why must you have a numbered script?
You're just pulling someone's chain, right?
