It would help if you can post a small example of what it is you want to achieve or work with. This will help in generating specific answers, or allows those that have already answered to tailor their examples to your specific situation. — A. Kootstra

You choose one of your Python files to be the keywords library for Robot Framework. If it's a class, its public methods will be the keywords you use from Robot Framework test cases. See the example at the beginning of 4.1 Creating test libraries in the User Guide.

Then you write a .robot file with the Robot Framework syntax to execute your test. You import your Python keywords into that with the Library setting or the Import Library keyword.

For example, if your Python class using pywinauto has the methods click_on_button(self, button_caption), your .robot file could be something like:

*** Settings ***
Library     your_python_filename

*** Test Cases***
Test Case Name
    Click on button    Button Caption here
