Creating a Windows Menu Bar in Python

So, I have looked around Google, and here, I do get some interesting results, like using Tkinter and some example from YouTube videos, but I don't think I am asking the right question.

Basically, I want to create a GUI, in Python, and I want to be able to use the standard Windows drop-down menu. By this I mean; File, Edit, Help, Etc. Is there some sort of template to create this or do I need to create my own, using button configurations?

I am assuming I am missing a large portion of information, specifically relating to Windows manipulation, in my studies so far.

You are looking for a GUI framework, there are several to choose from but personally I would say the main ones are:

  • Tkinter comes with python so nothing to download, looks "unixy"
  • QT & pyQT very powerful, cross platform, big downloads, always looks QT
  • wxPython Uses wrappers around native controls so small, fast, cross platform, looks native. Especially download & install the documents & examples package - gives you lots of code examples in the searchable demo that you can edit and run within the demo.

Demo

I really should mention that my personal favorite is wxPython, as I have used it a lot over the years.
