I have 2 different .py files, one has the the main Tkinter GUI window and other has a code to run calculator in tkinter GUI, the calculator file when executed alone works fine but when called inside the main Window, no expresion is shown on the main GUI just the buttons .
Main file

except:

if __name__ == "__main__":
root = Tk()
calculator = CalculatorGUI(root)
root.mainloop()
I was expecting to run the calculator app on one of the colour coded frames and make a windows like GUI.
