If you would like to try using wxPython, download and install both it and the Demo/Docs package, then run the wxPython Demo from your Start Menu. It demonstrates a huge variety of features, including pull-down menus and even (as I recall) running external commands, and more than that the demo itself provides access to the source code for each feature so that you can copy and paste into your own program (and edit, of course, since it's never a perfect fit as-is). Of course wxPython is just one possible approach to doing GUI work with Python, and not necessarily the best. With Python it's easy to quickly try out each of the main contenders (including Tkinter which, as someone mentioned, is included standard in Python), so there's no excuse for not experimenting for an hour first... -Peter -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
