multithreading - Opening and running a python script in spyder from tkinter -

i hoping there way open '.py' file in spyder , run in correlating ipython console tkinter window. have been able scripts run using threading , os.system, run spyder in ipython

here code wrote, run1 works, not open spyder run it. know if exists run2. (i know run_in_spyder not function). perhaps there cmd commands spyder not know of.

to_run example script.

here backbone of code.
