Question

I am making an application through python tkinter; I am not able to understand how I can run a shell script with it.

You're looking for the subprocess module:

https://docs.python.org/3/library/subprocess.html

An example:

subprocess.run(["ls"]). # run ls
output = subprocess.check_output(["ls"]) # grab the output of ls
