not too sure what you meant mate but www.pythonware.com has a great documentation for Tkinter, here's a link to a page on the site that may or may not help you:

The toolbar in Tkinter is usually a frame with buttons added below the menubar. Depending how you configure the frame there should be a visible separation. If you want to separate the toolbar, you could use two frames properly packed. Here is an example ...

# the toolbar is a frame with buttons and is usally put right below the menubar

from Tkinter import *

def callback(what=None):
    print "callback =", what
    if what == 'red':
        b1.config(bg="#ff0000")
    if what == 'blue':
        b2.config(bg="#0000ff")

class Curry:
    """handles arguments for callback functions"""
    def __init__(self, callback, *args, **kwargs):
        self.callback = callback
        self.args = args
        self.kwargs = kwargs

    def __call__(self):
        return apply(self.callback, self.args, self.kwargs)

root = Tk()

# create the menubar
menubar = Menu(root)

filemenu = Menu(menubar)
filemenu.add_command(label="Open", command=Curry(callback, "open"))
filemenu.add_command(label="Save", command=Curry(callback, "save"))
filemenu.add_command(label="Save as", command=Curry(callback, "saveas"))
filemenu.add_separator()
filemenu.add_command(label="Quit", command=root.destroy)  # better than root.quit (at least in IDLE)

menubar.add_cascade(label="File", menu=filemenu)

root.config(menu=menubar)

# create a toolbar with two buttons
# use Frame(root, borderwidth=2, relief='raised') for more separation
toolbar = Frame(root)

b1 = Button(toolbar, text="red", width=6, command=Curry(callback, "red"))
b1.pack(side=LEFT, padx=2, pady=2)
b2 = Button(toolbar, text="blue", width=6, command=Curry(callback, "blue"))
b2.pack(side=LEFT, padx=2, pady=2)

toolbar.pack(side=TOP, fill=X)

mainloop()
