GUI = Install(None,"textfile")
GUI.mainloop()
print GUI.data


However in general you want the GUI to keep running while 
you access the data. One way to do that is to create the 
other objects first then pass them as instances into your 
GUI - rather like you did the filename. Then within the 
GUI event handlers you camn call methods of the external 
objects passing them the data they need. This usually 
turns out to be more reusable than the other way round 
wherein the external objects need to know about the 
GUI internals.

Without knowing exactly what your GUI does/looks like its 
hard to be more concrete...
