[Tutor] How to allow user to choose an option from a window

[Jason Massey]

If you mean which type of GUI model to use you have at least two popular
choices.

Tkinter: It's bundled with Python, and there's a tutorial at:
http://www.pythonware.com/library/tkinter/introduction/
wxPython: My GUI of choice.  http://wxpython.org

A quick and dirty example in wxPython of what you wanted:

import wx

class MainWindow(wx.Frame):
    def __init__(self,parent,id,title):
        wx.Frame.__init__(self,parent,wx.ID_ANY,title,size=(200,200))
        self.radiobox = wx.RadioBox(self,wx.ID_ANY
,'Options',choices=['One','Two','Three'],style=wx.RA_SPECIFY_ROWS)

        self.Bind(wx.EVT_RADIOBOX,self.OnRadioBoxChoose,self.radiobox)
        self.Show()

    def OnRadioBoxChoose(self,event):
        choice = self.radiobox.GetStringSelection()
        wx.MessageBox("You selected: %s" % choice)

app = wx.PySimpleApp()
frame = MainWindow(None,-1,"Options")
app.MainLoop()
