Combining different tkinter apps into “tabs” in a single app? /u/MrScoopss Python Education

(TL;DR at the bottom!)

Hello, I’m a student finishing up my “capstone” or graduation project amongst a small team of peers.

It’s important to note though that our group is made up of students in information management, NOT information technology, that is to say, we mainly focus on databases and cataloging with only a minor (1-2 classes) of actual program development.

Due to our supervisor being more on the programming side of things we’ve been sort of forced into a more development heavy approach, I mention all this to be clear that while we have some knowledge of general development, none of us are exactly proficient in it.

As part of our final project we’re creating an “all-in-one” data-basing and cataloging tool that can create Marc21 records, suggest DDC and LLC classification codes, and run a search of Marc21 records from an internal database.

Our project is coming along well and we’ve essentially created three different python apps using tkinter that does the above, however it would be ideal to run these as a single application using “tabs” something that I am aware tkinter does in fact have.

What would be ideal however if we could somehow do this without completely restructuring our code, especially if we could simply create a ui that “reads” our existing .py files and loads them for each tab.

TL;DR: Is it possible to create tabs with tkinter that loads other .py files rather than completely restructuring our code to combine multiple tkinter apps into a single one separated by tabs.
