Create a custom Python graphical user interface that integrates a button for executing a command in the terminal

Question

I currently have a project that involves two separate files.

File number one handles eye-tracking and blinking calculations. This file runs whenever I input a command in the terminal using this line: python3 blink.py --shape-predictor shape_predictor_68_face_landmarks.dat. Alternatively, it can load a video file by specifying its path with this command: python3 blink.py --shape-predictor shape_predictor_68_face_landmarks.dat --video "path"
The second file is my GUI (Graphical User Interface) file. The first button on click should execute a command line requiring the video path, while the second button should trigger a command to access the laptop camera.

I am seeking advice on how to create functions for these buttons to run the respective scripts efficiently.

First File:

    // Python code for eye tracking and blinking calculation - omitted for brevity

Second File:

    // Python code for GUI implementation using tkinter library - omitted for brevity
