hey, im having trouble making a python program run using a window, honestly i dont even know where to start. I have to make a coffee program where there is a menu and the user has to choose between adding, modifying, searching, showing, and deleting any entrys made to the program. I have the program written out so it runs but without a menu so it just goes through everything i previously mentioned. can someone help me?...idk if i can post the code in here because it is a very large program file.
