I managed to get the program running and the menu options are

for e in menuoptions:
wx.EVT_MENU(self, idtool, self.OnExecute(idtool, e))
This calls the OnExecute method and then passes its result to
wx.EVT_MENU. If, for example, OnExecute is returning None, then that's
what is being passed into wx.EVT_MENU.
What you should actually be doing is passing a function which can be
called when the menu item is clicked, something like this:
wx.EVT_MENU(self, idtool, lambda idtool=idtool, e=e:
self.OnExecute(idtool, e))
idtool += 1
##print e
[snip]
def OnExecute(self,tool,e):
print tool
os.system(e)
#print tool
# Get rid of the dialog to keep things tidy
[snip]
wx.EVT_MENU(self, idtool, self.OnExecute(idtool, e))
I changed it to this and it seems to be calling self.OnExecute befour
the editor comes up and then after the editor is up it doesn't respond
to anything.

supose I need to use the strip method in real like though).. I was
able to get an infinite loop by calling the editor as one of the
options and then it keeps calling itself. It may be another problem
or perhaps I didn't grasp the answer.

I've noticed that you're opening the menu file before the class
statement but reading from it in the __init__ method. It would be better
if you opened the file in the __init__ method itself. You can split a
line on whitespace with:
t = line.split()
It won't then matter how many spaces or tabs are between the fields.
