Binding functions to Menus in tkinter?? - Mocap - Jul-23-2019

I want to create a drop down menu (For example, File > Open, etc.) that can be used to open files and upload/download data. Can someone either offer an explanation of how to do this or link me to a good tutorial? I know how to create the drop down menu in GUI itself, but I'm not sure how to actually find it with a function or algorithm that would allow it to open files or upload/download data.

if it's to be used to open files, why not use built in filedialog?
