Hi I have code for GUI and MQTT. In GUI.py I have "def loadGUI" which loads up a GUI file if the file exists in current directory. I want to add the file name to a list when a file is imported and for each subsequent file that is imported I want the file name to be imported to the same list and print the list or create a new list but with the imported file named added to list which has the existing file names that have already been imported. I was wondering how I do this. By the way run GUI.py to test this.
