How can I run an interface I made using PyQt5 and a Map program I made using Tkinter

[bki]

I am making an interface for an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle. I have a main interface that shows the data I get from the dronekit and the attitude indicator. I made this main interface using PyQt5, first I was going to add a map directly to this interface I made with PyQt5, but the map I used could not functionally work on the interface I made over PyQt5. So I decided to separate the main interface and the map. I made the map using "tkintermapwiever". When I run the two separately, it works smoothly and stably. But since we have a single tool and we will connect through the same server, both programs need to run simultaneously, my research has not yielded any results. I have tried Threading and Processing methods, but they work sequentially, not at the same time. So for example, my main interface opens first, and after I close my interface, my map application opens. It shouldn't be like this, both should open side by side at the same time.I would be very grateful if you can help. Thank you..

And there's this extra problem: in the code snippet below, as soon as I import root.tk, the map opens automatically.

block of code where I call two different files and try multiprocessing:

from multiprocessing import Process
from mainMap import root_tk
from mainarayüz import main


def arayuz() :
    p1 = Process(target= main())
    p2 = Process(root_tk.mainloop())
    
    p1.start()
    p2.start()
    p1.join()
    p2.join()

if __name__ == '__main__' :
    arayuz()

`

A couple problems. When you import a module the first time, Python executes the module code. If you don't want to draw the map you must put that code inside a function or hide it behind if __name__ == '__main__' :. The bigger problem is it sounds like you are running tk in one process and mainloop in another. That will not work. You must create your windows and run mainloop in the same process.

def ana() :
    from mainMap import root_tk
    from mainarayüz import main
    p1 = Process(target=(root_tk, main))
    p1.start()

ana()

like this?

What benefit are you getting from running everything in a separate process?

You don't have to use mainloop(). Is there a way you could periodically call window.update() for the tk root window? I've never tried running Qt and Tk in the same process like this, but it is worth a try.

If this was me, I would drop either Qt or Tkinter and do everything using one GUI toolkit. Since it sounds like the map is the most complicated thing, I would say bye bye Qt py.

You are right, but for now I need to solve this problem, because it is urgent. After that, I'll put the two together via Qt or Tkinter. At first I tried using the folium library in Qt5, but it was technically impossible to update the marker in folium, and I didn't want to develop the interface in Tkinter. So I came up with this solution, but I can't make it work. I just managed to run both apps together, but after 1 second both apps froze and didn't update themselves.
I will post the code:

from sarsgui_taslak import Ui_MainWindow

from PyQt5.QtCore import QTimer
from geopy.geocoders import OpenCage

# print("Simülatör başlatılıyor (SITL)")
# connection_string = "tcp:127.0.0.1:5762"

# print("Araç şurada bağlanıyor: %s" % (connection_string,))
# vehicle = connect(connection_string, wait_ready=False)
# # lat = vehicle.lsocation.global_relative_frame.lat
# lon = vehicle.location.global_relative_frame.lon

opencage_api_key = "52a.........................0"

class MainPage(QMainWindow):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()

def mapgui() :

    # create tkinter window
    root_tk = tk.Tk()
    root_tk.geometry(f"{1000}x{700}")
    root_tk.title("SarsGUI Map")
