# Tkinter top-level menus
 
from Tkinter import *
from tkMessageBox import *
 
# temporary function to call from menu
def notdone():
    showerror('Not yet', 'Work in progress!')
 
def makemenu(win):
    top = Menu(win)
    win.config(menu=top)
 
    file = Menu(top)
    file.add_command(label='New...', command=notdone, underline=0)
    file.add_command(label='Open...',command=notdone, underline=0)
    file.add_command(label='Quit', command=win.quit, underline=0)
