I would like to use python to load an existing project into Unreal.
I don’t see anything in the docs for this.

Could you further explain what you want to do? When you say load, do you mean start an Unreal Engine project using Python from the desktop, or load a project from within another project?

Hi EliasWick -
From within Unreal, I want to select another project and load that project into Unreal.

I need slightly more information. Would you like to load one project into another project, like transfer all assets and settings? or open one stand-alone project from within Unreal Engine?

With a bit of C++, you can create a button to start the project. If you want to do it through Python, you can use the console. Create a python script that starts a project, and then execute it through the console:

Here is some sample code I found on Stackoverflow, simply replace the path with your project path and file:

import os
os.startfile("C:\Documents and Settings\flow_model\flow.exe")
