[Tutor] Is it a good idea to use TKInter to change my password program into a GUI?

Hey all,

Is it a good idea to use TKInter to change my password program into a GUI? I know it needs improvements, and I've noted them below:

[code]

#This is for a password protected program to store passwords.
import getpass
password = "hello" # This should instead load a file with the password in it.
sitelist = {}

def load_file(pw):
    import os
    filename = 'passcard.txt' # Weak, because any text file editor can read the usernames and passwords!
    if os.path.exists(filename):
       store = open(filename,'r')
       for line in store:
          site = line.strip()
          ID = store.next().strip()
          pw[site] = ID
    else:
        store = open(filename,'w') # create new empty file
    store.close()

def save_file(pw):
    store = open('passcard.txt',"w")
    for site,ID in sitelist.items():
        store.write(site + '\n')
        store.write(ID + '\n')
    store.close()

def main_menu():
    print "1) Add a login info card"
    print "2) Lookup a login info card"
    print "3) Remove a login info card"
    print "4) Print Login info list"
    print "9) Save and Exit"

def add_site():
    print "Add a login info card"
    site = raw_input("Site: ")
    ID = raw_input("User ID and passcard, seperated by a space: ") # seperated should be spelt separated.
    sitelist[site] = ID

def lookup_site():
    print "Lookup a login info card"
    site = raw_input("Site: ")
    if sitelist.has_key(site):
        print site,sitelist[site]
    else:
        print site," was not found."

def remove_site():
     print "Remove a login info card"
     site = raw_input("Site: ")
     if sitelist.has_key(site):
         del sitelist[site]
     else:
         print site," was not found."

def print_login_info():
    print "Login Info"
    for site in sitelist.keys():
        print "Site: ",site," \tID Passcard: ",sitelist[site]+"\n"

# There should be a way to change the password, or add it for first time users.

print "The Password Program"
print "By Nathan Pinno"
print
load_file(sitelist)
answer = getpass.getpass("What is the password? ")
while password != answer:
print "The password is incorrect."
answer = getpass.getpass("What is the password? ")

print "Welcome to the second half of the program."
while 1:
    main_menu()
    menu_choice = int(raw_input("Choose an option (1-4, or 9: "))
    if menu_choice == 1:
        add_site()
    elif menu_choice == 2:
        lookup_site()
    elif menu_choice == 3:
        remove_site()
    elif menu_choice == 4:
        print_login_info()
    elif menu_choice == 9:
        break
    else:
        print "That's not an option!"
save_file(sitelist)
print "Have a nice day!"
[/code]

Is it possible to salvage it?

Give me your honest advice.
