Run in the same console or a different console? By "close login.py" you infer run in a different console. – Amiga500 Jun 07 '21 at 17:01

I'm a little confused by what you need help with but try this:
from fileName import function_you_want
Ideally you don't want a script to run on an import. It can cause some unexpected things to happen. At the bottom of main.py I would use this:
if __name__ == "__main__":
call_your_function()
This way you can do tests by running the script directly or calling a specific method from another py file without running the script.

What you can do is import that file main.py like import main. If you want everything from that file, from main import *
Then, after the user logins, destroy your main window using <Tk>.destroy() and then call your function.
