def clicked():
    folder_selected = filedialog.askdirectory()
    exec(Path("whatevascript.py --weights weights.h5 predict (folder_selected)").read_text())

Python Anonymous Function (Lambda function)

You will need to use a lambda expression as an argument to the command parameter that calls this clicked function in the button that was clicked, and it would go something like this

Button(root, text="Click me", command=lambda :clicked(VARIABLE))

As you can't pass arguments to a the function pointer you are giving to the command parameter
