To expand on this, the grid-method uses a few calls that aren't immediately obvious. Specifically, the containing object must have row and columnconfigure called on them: >>> r = Tk() >>> g = Text(r) >>> h = Entry(r) >>> g.grid(row=1,sticky=N+S+E+W) >>> h.grid(row=2,sticky=E+W) >>> r.columnconfigure(0,weight=1) >>> r.rowconfigure(1,weight=1) >>> r.mainloop() This creats a window containing a text widget above an entry widget. Both will resize horizontally to fill the entire window, and the text widget will resize vertically. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
