what is wrong with this program?

[Ali]

The following program is supposed to show a menu but it isnt showing
the drop down menus. It only shows the File and Help thing.

from Tkinter import *

def callback:
print "Alhumdulillah

root = Tk()

#create menu

m = Menu(root)
root.config(menu=m)

filemenu = add_cascade(label="File", menu="filemenu")
filemenu.add_command(label="New", command=callback)
filemenu.add_separator()
filemenu.add_command(label="Quit", command=callback)

helpmenu = Menu(m)
m.add_cascade(label="Help", menu="helpmenu")
helpmenu.add_command(label="About", command=callback)

root.mainloop()

please help me fix it

The code you posted doesn't even run. Copy and paste the *exact code*
that you used, and maybe we can help.

filemenu.add_separator()
filemenu.add_command(label="Quit", command=callback)
m.add_cascade(label="File", menu=filemenu)

helpmenu = Menu(m)
helpmenu.add_command(label="About", command=callback)
