Why cannot I run the python script from the CLI in Abaqus?

When I execute this line of statement in CLI.

>>> execfile('C:\\Users\\Me\\Desktop\\Sample.py')

It throws this error

"ImportError: Module abaqusGui can only be used in Abaqus/CAE GUI "

"ImportError: Module kernelAccess can only be used in Abaqus/CAE GUI "

I was able to run other python scripts. The only difference is, these two import statements are present and causing the issue.

from abaqusGui import *

from kernelAccess import *

 

Yes, I need these import statements, and I am not at liberty to divulge the full python code.

What is the workaround solution for this?

Please help and thanks in advance.
