Can I have a running python script(under Windows)being paused in the middle by user , and resume again when user decides ?

There is a main manager program which generates,loads and runs other python scripts (by calling python script.py from console).I don't have GUI and user can interact via console.I want my main program be able to respond to user pause/resume command for the running script.Should I define a thread? Whats the approach ?

Edit/Update :

usingLet's say I have a small python application with frontend which has various functions. I have a RUN command which runs python scripts in background .I want to implement a PAUSE feature which would pause the running python script . When the user commands RUN again then the python script should resume running . using raw_input() or print() needs you to forceforces user to issue command.But in this case, we don't know when user want to interrupt and pause or issue/pause/issue a command.So usual input/print is not usable.
