Python tkinter frame for Grouping the widgets and providing separators

Basics of Python Tkinter

Managing widgets in a group and providing separators by using frame.

Understanding frame

import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import * 
my_w=tk.Tk()

my_bottom=Frame(my_w,background='red')
my_bottom.pack(side=BOTTOM)

b1=tk.Button(my_w,text='b1')
b1.pack(side=LEFT)

# Using Frame by_bottom
b2=tk.Button(my_bottom,text='b2')
b2.pack(side=LEFT)

b3=tk.Button(my_bottom,text='b3')
b3.pack(side=LEFT)
l4=tk.Label(my_bottom,text='l4 label')
l4.pack(side=LEFT)
b4=tk.Button(my_bottom,text='b4')
b4.pack(side=LEFT)
l5=tk.Label(my_bottom,text='l5 label')
l5.pack(side=LEFT)

my_w.mainloop()

Config options side

Example

import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import * 
my_w=tk.Tk()

my_bottom=Frame(my_w,bg='green',cursor='boat',bd=20,relief=RAISED,
                width=100,padx=10,pady=10,highlightcolor='yellow')
my_bottom.pack(side=BOTTOM)

b1=tk.Button(my_w,text='b1', width=30)
b1.pack(side=LEFT)

# Using Frame by_bottom
b2=tk.Button(my_bottom,text='b2')
b2.pack(side=LEFT)


b3=tk.Button(my_bottom,text='b3')
b3.pack(side=LEFT)
l4=tk.Label(my_bottom,text='l4 label')
l4.pack(side=LEFT)

my_w.mainloop()

separator

import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import * 
my_w=tk.Tk()

b1=tk.Button(my_w,text='b1', width=10)
b1.pack(side=TOP)

# Using Frame by_bottom
b2=tk.Button(my_w,text='b2')
b2.pack(side=TOP)
my_line=Frame(my_w,bg='green',bd=20,height=5,width=20,
              relief=RAISED,highlightcolor='yellow')
my_line.pack(side=TOP,fill=X)

b3=tk.Button(my_w,text='b3')
b3.pack(side=BOTTOM)
l4=tk.Label(my_w,text='l4 label')
l4.pack(side=BOTTOM)

my_w.mainloop()
