I want to prevent tkinter .exe from starting multiple times

I compile my Python tkinter code, when I run *.exe twice, there are two main tkinter windows (same as when I run windows notepad.exe twice).

But I want to prevent tkinter .exe from being able to start twice. What can I do so that tkinter can only be started once? Whether or not I click tkinter.exe on the windows desktop dozens of times.
