[spyder] Nesting scripts -- runfile to call a script within a script gives KeyError: '__file__' , but run as a selection works fine

[p zajonc]

Guidance appreciated. Is there a limitation or a technique needed for
nesting scripts in Spyder?

Script1.py is: print ("hello")

Script2.py is: runfile ('Script1.py')

F9 key runs this line of code fine, the text hello prints out without an
error

F5 key or another script such as Script3.py: runfile ('Script2.py') gives
an error message after printing hello:

hello
Traceback (most recent call last):

File "<ipython-input-24-c314cb3c22a8>", line 1, in <module>
runfile('C:\\Users\\Peter\\Documents\\Roparju
Regression\\Accudata\\Base\\Code\\TESTING Step.py')

File
"C:\Users\Peter\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\spyder\utils\site\sitecustomize.py",
line 714, in runfile
namespace.pop('__file__')

KeyError: '__file__'


Versions:
python 3.6.1
ipython 6.2.1
conda 4.3.31
spyder 3.2.4
