Problems with Tkinter and menus

[Eric Brunel]

Hi,

Apparently, the code like you wrote it actually works on Windows, but I
remember that I had a similar problem on Linux, and it was caused by a
problem in the menu hierarchy: have you tried to create menu0 before menu1
and create menu1 as a son of menu0, like in:
menu0 = Tkinter.Menu(root, tearoff=0)
menu1 = Tkinter.Menu(menu0, tearoff=0)
menu1.add_command(label="Foo", command=hello)
# ...
Just try it: it may solve your problem. And doing it this way still works on
Windows.
