Johan's suggested the FAQ, and that's full of warnings that should be
heeded. One alternative which I use daily is, instead of relying on the
label, doing a set_data() on the menuitems as you put them into the
menu, and then using get_data() to grab it back. I can get example code
if that's not clear enough.
There's one catch -- you can't use None given get_data() returns None by
default; just use a ValueUnset dummy class to work around that, though.
Take care,
