Run my program inside Tkinter program

Is it possible to run my program inside Tkinter?

I have a program which fits the curves. I want to make it GUI and looking for the ways to insert it into Tkinter.

I want my program to run after clicking a BUTTON widget. Is there a option in Tkinter to run another file.py?

I assume you have read the tutorial. The cleanest way of loading the code from another python file is to import it, for example:

import myfile

...
mybutton['command'] = myfile.main
...

To run another file, you can import it, or load the data with

file = open("filename.txt", "r")

then use

exec(string)

to run the program inside it.
