How to use output of function present in pyqt5 class in another python file having different class?

Question

I have created simple GUI using PYQT5 which asking user to provide server name . and want to use the user input in another python unittest script . I am very new in python world and trying to learn . I have imported the test_launch.py file in psft.py and tried below code:

self.obj= test_launch.Ui_MainWindow() 
self.host1=self.obj.host() 
print(self.host1)

but unable to print when click launch button on GUI lauch button in test_launch calling execute function and calling the script psft.py but in psft.py not able to print the user inputs.

test_launch.py

from PyQt5 import QtCore, QtWidgets
import subprocess

class Ui_MainWindow(object):
    def execute(self):
        subprocess.call('python .\psft.py')

    def host(self, server):

        #print (self.server)

This information should be in the question, in this case I already put it but take it into account for a next occasion. I recommend you read [ask] and pass the [tour] — eyllanesc, Apr 17 '19 at 18:27

You are launching a process so using the script will not make you get the value you want.

Using this answer you can pass the data through the environment variables
