Hi,
I am trying to create an app with 2 python files, the first reads the user input (either from python shell or directly from the keyboard via modules like pynput-keyboard) and stores it in a variable (after enter pressed).

The second creates the gui that has 2 labels and two buttons and takes the variable passed from the first file and changes the labels based on this variable (the buttons are used for data insert in a later step in a database).

I have created the gui and the python script that reads the input, but I am struggling on passing this variable to the second script and on changing the label dynamically.
Please see the code samples above.

read_user_input.py

from gui import Ui
from PyQt5 import QtWidgets, uic
import sys

app = QtWidgets.QApplication(sys.argv) # Create an instance of QtWidgets.QApplication
window = Ui() # Create an instance of our class
# app.exec_() # Start the application

x = input("Give a number")
if (int(x) == 2):
    window.label.setText(str(x+2))
else:
    window.label_2.setText("changed "+str(x-2))
