Including all-caps shouting and note about buggyness?

recommend raw_input("Choose: ") -- its safer and number not needed

Switches can also be done with a dictionary:

_menu_func = { # outside function
  '1':CryptFile,
  '2': DecryptFile,
  '3': readCypher,
  '4': readDecypher,
  '5':writeMess,
  '6': (lambda :raw_input ("Hit Return to Exit..."))
}

and within function, just call
  _menu_func[a]()
