Many you may need to run python scripts in blender environment. So here is how you can run a python script in blender.

1. Open a Text Editor view in Blender.
2. Press Alt + O, or go to Text>Open Text Block and open the .py file
3. Then simply press Run script or press Alt+p

If you want to run the script form python console, you use following,

filename = "/full/path/to/script.py"
exec(compile(open(filename).read(), filename, 'exec'))

To run a script by another script or from console, you can use followings,

import bpy
script = bpy.data.texts["script_name.py"]
exec(script.as_string())

To run the script from terminal,

$ blender filename.blend --python script.py
