What you want is the multiprocessing module and a Manager object. Create a Manager object in script1.py, register the methods you want to call, and then start the server.
The module documentation has a good example of how to do all this.
https://docs.python.org/3/library/multiprocessing.html#multiprocessing-managers
Specific examples on how to use a remote manager can be found here.

You can import sript1.py and use function from it, because the script1.py is cached by interpreter. If I understand the question correctly.

So, if you import -
import script1, you don't prevent to the running script1.py.
