Consider the following: # Lamegame.py - probably the lamest game ever! print Welcome to Lame Game! raw_input(Please type something and press enter: ) print You win! So there's a game. Now let's add a menu: # lamegameimproved.py - the lamest game, now with a menu! import sys print Welcome to Lame Game! print \nMenu:\n print (Q)uit print (P)lay choice = raw_input(Your Choice? (P or Q): ) if choice.lower() == 'q': sys.exit(0) elif choice.lower() == 'p': # add original code here See? Quite simple. Even with pygame it shouldn't be a whole lot more complex than that. And that's really the most simple example I could think of and it's really not very good. For instance you could put the original code into a game function and then call it if the choice was P.

The other problem is that what you're thinking of really makes no sense. Pygame doesn't need (and shouldn't) run a program inside the window. You should have all of your game processes available to the main program and when you want to start the game it should just be a part of it - not a subprocess.

Your description of your desired goal isn't terribly clear, and hence it's difficult to offer good advice. When you say menu and different window that could mean a host of things. If you say I have a pygame window that consists of a menu; here is my code link to some pastebin. I'm having problems when I select some option - I want it to specific action, i.e. open a toplevel window (with titlebar, etc.), display some pixels on the screen, etc., but some unexpected behavior. The interesting this is that often when I take the time to write out a detailed question I find that the answer is right there in front of me. I've probably almost posted about 10-15 questions in the past 6 months and then just by virtue of taking the time to really look over my code I find the solution to my problem.
