around a bit with Tkinter and I think, I can handle this one, but I

tried to work with the "FrameWork" module, to create Menubars and

Could
anyone please post a simple code example, that creates a
Application()
Object and a Menuitem or something like this?
Unless you have a very good reason to use FrameWork (and it appears
you don't, as you're just starting): stay away from FrameWork. It is
almost 15 years old (originally written by Guido himself), uses
MacOS9 APIs that are likely to disappear some time soon and hasn't
been maintained in 7 years or so (I know, I was the last maintainer).
If you want to try something new for GUI development: look at Cocoa/
PyObjC. It is completely unlike anything else and the learning curve
can be pretty steep when you come from another GUI toolkit, but
that's mainly because you have to un-learn a lot of things. A Cocoa
GUI almost writes itself. I always have the feeling that I've
somehow cheated when I'm done: the GUI works, but I don't remember
actually writing any code:-)
Do you think Cocoa is really usable without understanding a bit of ObjC?
I'd suggest trying wxPython, preferably via dabo (see dabodev.com);
unfortunately the documentation isn't that good, but the developers
are really helpful.
I agree that Cocoa is probably better, if you target OSX only.
