How do you determine which part of the other file you want to run? You can always load the file as a large string and exec parts of it. Something like this (not tested):

b.py:

appuifw.note(u"I don't want this to run.", "info")

# START HERE

appuifw.note(u"I'm running.", "info")

# STOP HERE

appuifw.note(u"This is also something I don't want to run.", "info")

a.py:

import appuifw

myprog = open("b.py", "r").read()

startoffset = myprog.find("# START HERE")
stopoffset = myprog.rfind("# STOP HERE")

if startoffset >= 0 and stopoffset >= 0:
    exec myprog[startoffset:stopoffset]

A better way is to structure your b.py as a Python module, import it from a.py and call its functions.

Dynamic languages are cool that way. You have the language parser/compiler around at all times, so why not make use of it?
