You may need to specify the, current, python executable and also the full path to the file you want to run, like so:

import shutil # Add also this import

# Get Current files full path
project_root  = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__))

# Build full path to the proccess_1 file.
process_1_path = os.path.join(project_root, 'process_1.py')

# Get path to python executable
py_bin = shutil.which("python")

# Run the file and wait for it to finish.
# subprocess.run([py_bin, process_1_path ])

# Run the file in background and continue this script's execution
main_code_process = subprocess.Popen([py_bin, process_1_path ])
