I think you just need to create a library from your script. Create a new setup.py besides your sample_code.py:

from distutils.core import setup
from distutils.extension import Extension
from Cython.Distutils import build_ext
ext_modules = [
    Extension("sample_code",  ["sample_code.py"]),
]

setup(
    name = 'My Program',
    cmdclass = {'build_ext': build_ext},
    ext_modules = ext_modules
)

Then use python setup.py build_ext --inplace to generate your library. You can find more information here.
