Help needed to run some code!!!!

Hi

How can I execute "from devicesEmbedded import *" after this: "print("Device added to list")" in GUI.py because currently if I have the import added at the top of GUI.py file it always executes first before the GUI.py file is executed. I want the devicesEmbedded.py to execute after GUI.py has executed first.

Thanks
Spencer
