can you give me a starting point for a python script using CustomTkinter to layout a basic ui with three buttons in a collum on the left, and a window on the right displaying a list of selections

certainly! customtkinter is a third-party library that allows you to create custom widgets using the tkinter library. to get started with a basic ui layout, you will need to install the customtkinter library first. you can do so by running the following command in your terminal or command prompt:
```
pip install customtkinter
```
after installing the library, you can create a python script with the following code to get started with a basic ui layout with three buttons in a column on the left and a window on the right displaying a list of selections:
```python
import customtkinter as ctk

# create the main window
app = ctk.ctk()

# create the columns
left_column = ctk.ctkcolumn(ctk.ctk(), width=300)
right_column = ctk.ctk()

# create the three buttons in the left column
btn1 = ctk.ctkbutton(left_column, text="button 1")
btn2 = ctk.ctkbutton(left_column, text="button 2")
btn3 = ctk.ctkbutton(left_column, text="button 3")

# pack the columns
left_column.pack(side="left", fill="both", expand="yes")
right_column.pack(side="right", fill="both", expand="yes")

# create a list of selections
selections = ["option 1", "option 2", "option 3"]

# create a dropdown menu in the right column
dropdown = ctk.ctkcombo(right_column, values=selections, state="readonly")

# pack the dropdown menu
dropdown.pack(side="top", fill="both", expand="yes")

# run the main loop
app.mainloop()
```
in the code above, we first import the customtkinter library as "ctk". then, we create the main window using the `ctk()` function. next, we create the two columns (`left_column` and `right_column`) using the `ctkcolumn` function, and we create the three buttons (`btn1`, `btn2`, and `btn3`) using the `ctkbutton` function. we pack the columns into the main window using the `pack` method, with `side="left"` for the left column and `side="right"` for the right column.

we then create a list of selections (`selections`) and create a dropdown menu (`dropdown`) using the `ctkcombo` function, passing in the `values` argument to set the list of options. finally, we pack the dropdown menu into the right column using the `pack` method with `side="top"`.

when you run this script, you should see a window with three buttons in a column on the left and a dropdown menu on the right with a list of selections. the user can select an option from the dropdown menu, which will be displayed in the right column.
