Hi Pavel,

you can access the OptionMenu's Menu by its 'menu' key:

>>> from Tkinter import *
>>> root = Tk()
>>> s = StringVar()
>>> s.set('eggs')
>>> o = OptionMenu(root, s, 'eggs', 'spam', 'foo', 'bar')
>>> o.pack()
>>> o['menu'].insert('end', 'command', label='blah')

I hope this helps

Michael
