If you have the menu names in a list, can't you create a new menu for
each of the names and/or append the menus to a list?

    menus = [] #might be unnecessary
    for menuname in self.TL.MenuSections:
        _menu = wx.Menu()
        #add the submenus as necessary
        #...
        menus.append(_menu) #might be unnecessary
        menuBar.Append(_menu, menuname)
