Hello,
I have had to do this in a MEL script a couple of times, mainly when
running Maya in batch mode.
In your Python script make sure you have a run function that calls all the
functions you need for the script.
In your MEL script (make sure the script is available to be imported) and
call in your MEL script:
python("import myscript");
python("myscript.run()");
I have never looked into "execfile" as Justin suggested but this solution
but this solution has worked for me in the past.
I hope it helps.
