Get an input from tkinter and then close the window

I have two python files, one in which i store the code inputData.py and one which is the main file, main_project.py.

In inputData i have this code:

class Prompt(tk.Tk):
    def __init__(self):
        tk.Tk.__init__(self)
        self.entry = tk.Entry(self)
        self.button = tk.Button(self, text="Get", command=self.on_button)
        self.button.pack()
        self.entry.pack()

    def on_button(self):
        self.inputDt = self.entry.get()

In main_project i have this code:

from inputData import Prompt
promptData = Prompt()
promptData.mainloop()

class Hearing(object):
    numberBirths = promptData.inputDt

What i am trying to do is to assign the value numberBirths the value from the input in tkinter, and after i do that, i need the prompt to close and continue with the rest of the code. Can you help me with that?

You can use the .quit() and .destroy() methods:

inputData.py:

import tkinter as tk

class Prompt(tk.Tk):
    def __init__(self):
        self.answer = None
        tk.Tk.__init__(self)
        self.entry = tk.Entry(self)
        self.button = tk.Button(self, text="Get", command=self.on_button)
        self.button.pack()
        self.entry.pack()

    def on_button(self):
        self.answer = self.entry.get()
        self.quit()

main_project.py:

from inputData import Prompt

class Hearing(object):
    def __init__(self):
        promptData = Prompt()
        promptData.mainloop()
        promptData.destroy()
        self.numberBirths = promptData.answer
        print("Births:", self.numberBirths)
        # do something else with self.numberBirths

Hearing()

your entry widget does not have text variable for using get and set function
please add followings before entry and edit entry() by inserting textvariable 

input_var=0
self.entry = tk.Entry(self,textvariable=input_var)
