Hi there.
I'm not a complete newbie in python, but in building GUIs. I've worked
around a bit with Tkinter and I think, I can handle this one, but I also tried to work with the "FrameWork" module, to create Menubars and this kind
of stuff. But I did not even get a Application() object createt. Could
anyone please post a simple code example, that creates a Application()
Object and a Menuitem or something like this?

Unless you have a very good reason to use FrameWork (and it appears you don't, as you're just starting): stay away from FrameWork. It is almost 15 years old (originally written by Guido himself), uses MacOS9 APIs that are likely to disappear some time soon and hasn't been maintained in 7 years or so (I know, I was the last maintainer).

If you want to try something new for GUI development: look at Cocoa/ PyObjC. It is completely unlike anything else and the learning curve can be pretty steep when you come from another GUI toolkit, but that's mainly because you have to un-learn a lot of things. A Cocoa GUI almost writes itself. I always have the feeling that I've somehow cheated when I'm done: the GUI works, but I don't remember actually writing any code:-)
