We have created our own GUI in this recipe using the mature wxPython GUI toolkit. In only a few lines of Python code, we were able to create a fully functional GUI that comes with Minimize, Maximize, and Exit buttons. We added a menu bar, a multiline text control, and a button. We also created a status bar that displays text when we select a menu item. We placed all these widgets into a Panel container widget.

We hooked up the button to print to the text control.

When hovering over a menu item, some text gets displayed in the status bar.
