How to import a scrollable frame from one script into a frame in a different script tkinter

Sorry for the confusing title basically what I'm trying to figure out how to import a frame from one script into another. I'm not sure how I would call it since it has so many functions. Here are my two scripts:
File Name - wrapper:
import tkinter as tk
import workingcatch
from tkinter import *
root = tk.Tk()
outputframe = LabelFrame(master=root, width=800, height=700) #where i want to import the script
outputframe.pack(side=LEFT, padx=10,pady=10)
root.geometry('1280x720')
root.mainloop()
File Name - workingcatch:
from subprocess import Popen, PIPE, STDOUT
from threading import Thread

import sys
info = logging.getLogger(__name__).info
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO, format="%(asctime)s %(message)s")
platform = windows = 'mswin'
# define dummy subprocess to generate some output
cmd = [sys.executable or "python", "-u", "-c", """
import itertools, time
for i in itertools.count():
print(i)
time.sleep(0.5)
exit()
""", "exit"]
class OStream(Thread):

if platform == windows:
# Windows uses: "\r\n" instead of "\n" for new lines.

So what I'm trying to do is get the output from "workingcatch" into 'wrapper's frame.
Thanks for reading

Get access to a variable method to end threading loop?

I have question about how to call some variables, in this case from the method inside exportCsv that belongs to back_Gui class. I want to use the variables self.msg_ and self.opstat in the method __update from class _Gui to stop the reproduction of the gift and promt out the window to save the file. When I run the code and press the button it iterates in an infinite loop because the variable is not passing to. Also, I try to aggregate some threading to not to freeze the window when the button is pressed. Any solution?.
Also, I think these variables I mention would be inside the try but what happens in the except?. Do I have to create more variables to avoid infinite looping on the gift?

Tkinter: Updating GUI from subprocess output in realtime

I've searched the whole internet to answer my problem, but nobody seems to have the same one: I'm trying to update my tkinter GUI dynamically from a subprocess output, which works fine, if I'm starting my GUI inside eclipse. BUT if I'm running it in the file explorer or in visual studio, the 'stdout.readline' command waits, until the subprocess is finished. Only then the complete output is printed to my textarea... I am working with a thread and I've tried 2 ways: one is shown in 'App.py', the other one is threading the 'read_update' method instead (and not using 'reader_thread' and 'update' methods).
Interesting sidenote: the sys.argv command in Test.py does not return my string "var_test". Can anyone tell me why?
My Classes are:

Thank you for your help! I'm pretty desperate 'cause I've been trying to solve this problems for many hours now...

use sys.stdout.flush() after print

Display log lines on screen using parallel GUI

I'm looking for elegant way to display log lines on screen while the script is running.
from time import sleep
from threading import Thread
import tkinter as tk
class WaitGuiPrallel(Thread):
def __init__(self, TXT='Wait!', ttl='Logs'):
self.txt = TXT
Thread.__init__(self)
self.ttl = ttl
self.start() # This is starting the self.run()
def run(self):
self.root = tk.Tk()
self.root.attributes("-topmost", True)
self.root.title(self.ttl)
self.label = tk.Label(self.root, text=self.txt, font=("Helvetica", 20))
self.label.pack()
self.Location()
self.root.mainloop()
def Exit(self):
self.root.quit()
def Location(self):
w = 500 # width for the Tk root
h = 150 # height for the Tk root
ws = self.root.winfo_screenwidth() # width of the screen
self.root.geometry('%dx%d+%d+%d' % (w, h, ws - w - 20, 10))
def Update(self, newText):
self.txt1 = newText
self.label.destroy()
self.label = tk.Label(self.root, text=self.txt1,
font=("Helvetica", 12))
self.label.pack()
self.root.update()
Wait = WaitGuiPrallel(TXT='Wait! Do not touch mouse or keyboard')
sleep(2)
for t in range(5):
sleep(1)
Wait.Update(newText='Log line %s' % t)
Wait.Update(newText='Done!')
sleep(1)
Wait.Exit()
The current script got few issues:
it is not elegant - there must be a better way
it has problems when updated from different Threads
Sometime running it twice from Spyder+IPython is not possible (IPython freeze)

Tkinter doesn't really play well with threads. Using a StringVar is a little more thread friendly than other methods (in my experience). Here's how to do that plus a couple other fixes:
from time import sleep
from threading import Thread
import tkinter as tk
class WaitGuiPrallel(Thread):
def __init__(self, TXT='Wait!', ttl='Logs'):
Thread.__init__(self)
self.txt = TXT
self.ttl = ttl # what's this for?
self.daemon = True # this thread will terminate when the main thread terminates
self.start() # This is starting the self.run()
def run(self):
self.root = tk.Tk()
self.root.attributes("-topmost", True)
self.root.title(self.ttl)
self.txt = tk.StringVar(value=self.txt)
self.label = tk.Label(self.root, textvariable=self.txt, font=("Helvetica", 20))
self.label.pack()
self.Location()
self.root.mainloop()
def Location(self):
w = 500 # width for the Tk root
h = 150 # height for the Tk root
ws = self.root.winfo_screenwidth() # width of the screen
self.root.geometry('%dx%d+%d+%d' % (w, h, ws - w - 20, 10))
Wait = WaitGuiPrallel(TXT='Wait! Do not touch mouse or keyboard')
sleep(2)
for t in range(5):
sleep(1)
Wait.txt.set('Log line %s' % t)
Wait.txt.set('Done!')
sleep(1)
If you have multiple threads calling this then I would consider using a Queue and a third thread to monitor the queue.

Python GUI Threading

I want to have a function run continuously within a tkinter GUI. I have attached some shell code:
#!/usr/bin/env python3
import tkinter as tk
from time import sleep
import os
import sys
class Application(Frame):
def __init__(self, master):
super(Application, self).__init__(master)
self.grid()
self.create_widgets()
def create_widgets(self):
......
root = Tk()
def run_continously:
... -- calls sleep -- ...
root.after(3000, run_continuously)
root.geometry('%dx%d+%d+%d' % (w, h, x, y))
app = Application(root)
root.after(3000, run_continuously)
root.mainloop()
When running the GUI it tends to run the 'run_continuously' function once and the GUI freezes up. I suspect from poking around that this is due to the sleep function (which I call in the run_continuously function)
How would I go about implementing the 'run_continuously' function in a very simple thread to get around this issue? Would running the function in a thread even get me around the problem? The 'run_continuously' function does not need to interact at all with the Application class. I want it to run simply in the background and stop when the mainloop is finished.
Here is the end of the code:
def run_continuously(quit_flag):
print("in it")
if not quit_flag:
GPIO.output(DIR_PIN, True)
for i in range(steps):
print("in loop")
GPIO.output(STEP_PIN, True)
sleep(sDelay)
GPIO.output(STEP_PIN, False)
sleep(sDelay)
sleep(wait_time)
GPIO.output(DIR_PIN, False)
for i in range(steps):
GPIO.output(STEP_PIN, True)
sleep(sDelay)
GPIO.output(STEP_PIN, False)
sleep(sDelay)
print("run motor")
root.after(1000, run_continuously(quit_flag,))
#=================================================================
# main
#=================================================================
root = Tk() # Create the GUI root object
press1 = StringVar()
press2 = StringVar()
x = 275
y = 50
w = 580
h = 250
root.geometry('%dx%d+%d+%d' % (w, h, x, y))
app = Application(root) # Create the root application window
quit_flag = False
root.after(0, app.read_pressure)
motor_thread = threading.Thread(target=run_continuously, args=(quit_flag,)).start()
root.mainloop()
quit_flag=True
motor_thread.join()

This is a minimal, complete, and verifiable example that exits cleanly if the 'QUIT' button is pressed or Ctrl-C is pressed:
from Tkinter import *

self.quit_button = Button(self)

self.quit_button.pack({'side': 'left'})
def __init__(self, master=None):
Frame.__init__(self, master)
self.quit_button = None
self.pack()
self.create_widgets()
self.poll()
def poll(self):
"""
This method is required to allow the mainloop to receive keyboard
interrupts when the frame does not have the focus
"""
self.master.after(250, self.poll)
def worker_function(quit_flag):
counter = 0
while not quit_flag.value:
counter += 1
logging.info("Work # %d" % counter)
time.sleep(1.0)
format = '%(levelname)s: %(filename)s: %(lineno)d: %(message)s'
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG, format=format)
root = Tk()
app = Application(master=root)
quit_flag = multiprocessing.Value('i', int(False))
worker_thread = threading.Thread(target=worker_function, args=(quit_flag,))
worker_thread.start()
logging.info("quit_flag.value = %s" % bool(quit_flag.value))
try:
app.mainloop()
except KeyboardInterrupt:
logging.info("Keyboard interrupt")
quit_flag.value = True
logging.info("quit_flag.value = %s" % bool(quit_flag.value))
worker_thread.join()
