Here's a start: Google It

1. Use Code Tags.
2. Homework? Show Effort.
3. Keep discussions on the forum: no PMs

It really depends. Are you using wxPython Tkinter or some other kind of GUI becuase they all differ.
I can give you an example in wxPython

 Help with Code Tags 
 python Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
import wx
 
class MainFrame(wx.Frame):
    def __init__(self):
        wx.Frame.__init__(self,None)
        self.menubar = wx.MenuBar()
        self.file = wx.Menu()
        self.file.Append(wx.ID_ANY,'&Test')
        self.menubar.Append(self.file,'File')
        self.SetMenuBar(self.menubar)
        self.Show()
 
app = wx.App(False)
frame = MainFrame()
app.MainLoop()
import wx

class MainFrame(wx.Frame):
    def __init__(self):
        wx.Frame.__init__(self,None)
        self.menubar = wx.MenuBar()
        self.file = wx.Menu()
        self.file.Append(wx.ID_ANY,'&Test')
        self.menubar.Append(self.file,'File')
        self.SetMenuBar(self.menubar)
        self.Show()

app = wx.App(False)
frame = MainFrame()
app.MainLoop()

Hope that helps!

I need to add
"Your program should display a menu which will allow the user to choose whether he wants to (1)
coefficients (2) check whether the linear system can be solved using iteration (3) calculate and display the
required results using Gauss-Seidel (4) calculate and display the required results using Gauss-Jacobi"

I need from the above question 4 menu that the user can click from.

Also i would be grateful if someone could tell me how i modify the codes for any particular menu(i worked in Visual Basic 6.0 where interfaces are much easier than python)
Thnx again.
