I'm working on an app written in python with the kivy modules to develop a cross-platform app. Within this app I have a form which takes some numerical values. I would like these numerical values to be passed to another python program I've written, used to calculate some other values, and passed back to the app and returned to the user. The outside program is currently not recognizing that the values I'm trying to pass to it exist. Below is sample code from the 3 files I'm using, 2 for the app and 1 for the outside program. I apologize about the abundance of seemingly unused kivy modules being imported, I use them all in the full app.
main.py
import kivy
import flowcalc
from kivy.app import App
from kivy.lang import Builder
from kivy.uix.screenmanager import ScreenManager, Screen
from kivy.uix.dropdown import DropDown
from kivy.uix.spinner import Spinner
from kivy.uix.button import Button
from kivy.base import runTouchApp
from kivy.uix.textinput import TextInput
from kivy.properties import NumericProperty, ReferenceListProperty, ObjectProperty, ListProperty
from kivy.uix.gridlayout import GridLayout
from kivy.uix.scrollview import ScrollView
from kivy.core.window import Window
from kivy.uix.slider import Slider
from kivy.uix.scatter import Scatter
from kivy.uix.image import AsyncImage
from kivy.uix.carousel import Carousel
Builder.load_file('main.kv')
#Declare Screens
class FormScreen(Screen):
pass
class ResultsScreen(Screen):
pass
#Create the screen manager
sm = ScreenManager()
sm.add_widget(FormScreen(name = 'form'))
sm.add_widget(ResultsScreen(name = 'results'))
class TestApp(App):
def build(self):
return sm
if __name__ == '__main__':
TestApp().run()

As far as I understood you want the labels in your GridLayout in the last section of your code to get their texts from your python code. You could do something like this:
from otherprogram import results1, results2, results3, results4
class ResultsScreen(Screen):
label1_text = results1
label2_text = results2
label3_text = results3
label4_text = results4
then in your .kv file you could access these values by calling their root widgets attribute.
Label:
text: root.label1_text
and so on.
