Any suggestions for study?..: Is is possible to take a large executable with GUI and real time data and images, to extract modules, and it can run as if it looks like a monolithic application (windows over main windows, or images over other images) but is various python script driven modules calling each other as separate apps?
I can see at least 4 things you might mean. Perhaps you'd better spell it out.
1) glom all the scripts & binary modules into one big file, so the user thinks it's one huge app
2) Manipulate multiple gui apps while having the same UI as though there was just one main window, and other windows all belong to it. Multiple GUI processes, but some central control to change the user experience into resembling a single GUI app.
3) Have one gui app "main" that other apps can somehow call to manipulate the windows of "main." Multiple processes, only one of them with a GUI.
4) From a GUI app, use other apps as loadable modules, and reuse their class definitions and functions by calling them from the GUI app. One process.
You say this a topic for study, but there's a lot of other things you may need to specify before you get to implementing. What OS, what version of Python, what GUI, are these apps modifiable, or are you just allowed to write glue, ...
