I was meshing together anything I could find to make things work. I ended up settling on nothing but TKINTER.
pygame did not have a good menu or grid system built in. The only thing pygame has is a border option that tkinter does not have. But I may be able to side step that by using a background with the border and then overlaying the button grid arrays on top of it using only TKINTER.
I am only interested in using tkinter for the button actions as that is the only way I can get the buttons to layout like I am wanting.
Off hand the only methodology I can think of is to assign a numerical weight to each directional key press and then the value of x which the keypresses adjust equals a set look of the menu screen. The menu would appear to change with each keypress but you are really changing a mathematical value that sets the entire screens look. I just need to test the idea to even see if it is viable or not.
I am not aware of any other modules or libraries in python I can use to power button driven menu interface. If there are do please let me know so that I can do further research. With what almost a million individual libraries, it is quite possible there exists one written specifically for what I need that I am unaware of.

Is it necessary to try mixing tkinter and pygame together because I don't think they play together nicely?
