run multiple python scripts at the same time

Is there a way to run multiple python scripts simultaneously in vsc. I mean while there is already a script running, I would like to run another script. When I try I get "code is already running". In spyder-ide I simply open a new IPython console and run the new script in this newly opened console.

You can always open a terminal terminal window -- with either Python: Create Terminal or Open New Terminal -- and launch the script(s) manually in separate terminals.

If you need to coordinate execution and communicate between these programs, you'll need to use threading. If the scripts can run independently, you can run them manually at the same time from a terminal, or use a subprocess call from the first script:

subprocess.call(['python', 'secondscript.py', secondscript_arg1, secondscript_val1,...]).
