Using Other Python Programs In Your Tkinter App - Python Tkinter GUI Tutorial

In this video I'll show you how to call and use other python programs in your tkinter app.
Maybe there's another program that you want to use the functionality of in your tkinter app...or maybe you just have a very large tkinter app and want to break the code up into other files that you can reference just for readability.
Either way, this little trick will work for you!

im really new to python and was wondering if i wanted to use a game from another python file, how would i do that? for example, i have a platformer game and also a main software which holds them all together and there are buttons that open each game, i tried following this tutorial however the code for the game is very long and cant seem to put it in one main function to carry over to my gui software, i have been copying and pasting whole scripts into my gui and its becoming too long to read, i would be greatful for any help, thanks

In navigating through different frames in the application, its important that a need to manage user sessions on states or values can still be seen in the application. Is there a rediux for tkinter application that helps such process?

[@Codemycom]

No, there's doesn't need to be. Only one user can use the app at a time, there is no need to manage sessions as such.

You need to connect your app to an online database that holds the keys, then simply check the database to see if the user's key is in there.

Hey John! I want to run one tkinter file from another tkinter file. But, whenever I import one tkinter file in other tkinter file, the imported file gets displayed (GUI gets displayed) and code stops working. I don't want to use os.system() as it display that black box (like command prompt). Is there any other way of connecting to tkinter files?

[@Codemycom]

Not really...you don't import a tkinter app into another app. You can open another tkinter program from a tkinter program. If you want to import it you'll have to re-write the tkinter app to be more like a python app and import it as as normal...

I have written a Pancakeswap Sniperbot with Python and the Program works perfectly. Now I have written a GUI with tkinter with a few button and I have implemented a database to record the snipes. Entry fields for: Wallet Address, Private Key, Token, BNB Amount and Gas Amount. The code works until here and the Data from the Entry Boxes will saved in the database but how can I link that with my Bot Code???

[@Codemycom]

You likely don't link it...you write the bot code into the tkinter app.

Hello Sir, I've stuck in a project which i have to connect the CLI tool called 'Volatility' with a gui using tkinter.. I have no idea how to do it.... But i came with an idea to assign a button to run the queries we run in the terminal to run that volatility tool.. Sir can u pls explain how to run a python query from a button using tkinter For example: py -2 vol.py -f imageinfo Is it possible to do that? I am stuck in this assignment and i have to pass the module... Thank you
