Ah teachers, you gotta love them! High on a power trip.
Drunk on tenure. Most of which are overpaid and 
under-worked. Can't work with them, can't fire them!

Develop what kind of program exactly? You see, usually you
want to explain the details of your problem *before* you ask
a question in relation to that problem, *ESPECIALLY* in the
case of a generic question! How do you expect us to provide
an answer? I mean, heck, even when faced with a post more
riddled with more expletives than a prostitute has STD's,
we can usually deduce the context of "it", however, in this
case your just plain obfuscating!

Yes, and wiser if you had given it at post.index[0]!

Easy. Pick up Tkinter and learn how to:

 1. Display a window.
 
 2. Display a button and associate a block of code to be
 called when the button is pressed.
 
 3. Learn how to create a menu and attach it to a topwindow.
 Then add command and associate actions with those commands.
 
 4. Display a canvas, then insert images in the canvas, then
 manipulate them. Manipulation will require input from the
 user, which involves either dialogs(easy) or interactive
 modifications(difficult)

PS: What the hell is a "side menu"?
PPS: Good luck ;^)
