here, master=None means that you're adding stuff to the root
window.

to open the interface in a separate window, create a Toplevel
window, and pass it as the master:

    top = Toplevel()
    top.title("my other window")
    myInter2 = Interface2()

see chapters 8 and 10 of my "introduction to tkinter" book for
more information on toplevels:
