I can see at least 4 things you might mean.  Perhaps you'd better spell 
it out.

1) glom all the scripts & binary modules into one big file, so the user 
thinks it's one huge app

2) Manipulate multiple gui apps while having the same UI as though there 
was just one main window, and other windows all belong to it.  Multiple 
GUI processes, but some central control to change the user experience 
into resembling a single GUI app.

3) Have one gui app "main" that other apps can somehow call to 
manipulate the windows of "main."  Multiple processes, only one of them 
with a GUI.

4) From a GUI app, use other apps as loadable modules, and reuse their 
class definitions and functions by calling them from the GUI app.  One 
process.

You say this a topic for study, but there's a lot of other things you 
may need to specify before you get to implementing.  What OS, what 
version of Python, what GUI, are these apps modifiable, or are you just 
allowed to write glue, ...
