Put the toplevel code into a function, i. e. change
#script2.py old
print "hello from script2"
to
# script2.py new
def f(): # you should pick a descriptive name instead of f
print "hello from script2"
and then import it from script1 and invoke the function:
# script1.py old
#...
subprocess.call("python", "script2.py")
#...
# script1.py new
import script1
#...
script.f()
#...
