Python tkinter drop down menu

Question

I am programming a menu into my first python tkinter menu window. I have done it all right (I think) but the menu doesn't appear on my tkinter window.

My code is:

from tkinter import *


def f1():
    label = Label(window, text="Wassup CHUNGUS!!!")
    label.grid(row=0, column=0, sticky=W)


global window
window = Tk()
window.title("CHUNGUS")
label2 = Label(window, text="!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!")
label2.grid(row=2, column=0, sticky=W)
menubar = Menu(window)
firstmenu = Menu(menubar, tearoff=0)
firstmenu.add_command(label="EXIT", command=window.destroy)
firstmenu.add_command(label="CHUNGUS", command =f1)
menubar.add_cascade(label="Menu", menu=firstmenu)
window.mainloop()

Can I have some help?

This is quite easy. You have not included window.config(menu=menubar). You should put it before the window.mainloop()

so:

window.config(menu=menubar)
window.mainloop()

I would advise putting it before the window.mainloop()... This implies that you could place it after the mainloop but is just better to put it before for some reason. In reality you have no choice but to put it before the main loop. I would update that sentence.

Agree. mainloop() blocks until one stops or exits

Ok. I changed it

Just put the code window.config(menu=menubar) before window.mainloop()

The simplest way to achieve a drop-down list within Tkinter is to use the OptionMenu widget built into tkinter.

from Tkinter import *

master = Tk()

variable = StringVar(master)
variable.set("one") # default value

w = OptionMenu(master, variable, "one", "two", "three")
w.pack()

mainloop()
