如何强制菜单位于 window 而不是 OSX 默认值 Tkinter

Question

I'm trying to create a window that has a menu bar built into it, but whenever I implement a Tkinter code that creates a menu, it appears at the top next to the Apple logo. How can I make it so that it appears directly in the Tkinter window instead of the OSX menubar?

Here's the code I have so far:

import tkinter as tk
from tkinter.filedialog import askopenfilename

def NewFile():
    print("New File!")
def OpenFile():
    name = askopenfilename()
    print(name)
def About():
    print("This is a simple example of a menu")

root = tk.Tk()
menu = tk.Menu(root)
root.config(menu=menu)
filemenu = tk.Menu(menu)
menu.add_cascade(label="File", menu=filemenu)
filemenu.add_command(label="New", command=NewFile)
filemenu.add_command(label="Open...", command=OpenFile)
filemenu.add_separator()
filemenu.add_command(label="Exit", command=root.quit)

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

tk.mainloop()

Any and all help would be appreciated. Thanks.

You can't do what you want. When you configure a menu for a window there is no way to get non-native behavior.

What you can do instead is create a frame, and in the frame you can add Menubutton widgets. The behavior won't be exactly the same, but with some work you can create custom bindings to mimic menubar behavior.
