Question

I have a GUI application in Python that has two buttons both aligned to the left side, the code looks like this:

Button(root, text="blah").pack(side=LEFT)
Button(root, text="blah").pack(side=LEFT)

This code works great, but in the GUI how would you put these two buttons on different lines?

Answer 1

(assuming you’re using Tkinter) I think you’d just pack it…

e.g.

Button(root,text="blah").pack()

Note that generally, it is better practice to make the button and then pack it on separate lines.

This sort of geometry can also be accomplished with grid.

b1=Button(root,text="blah")
b2=Button(root,text="blah")
b1.grid(row=0,column=0)
b2.grid(row=1,column=0)

However, you shouldn’t mix grid and pack geometry manager…(pick one and stick with it)
