Let me try to type this on an iPad. >From Tkinter import *
Root = Tk() Sub = Frame(Root) Label(Sub, text = "Now is the time\nto fix this.").pack(side = TOP) SSub = Frame(Sub) Entry(SSub).pack(side = LEFT, expand = YES, fill = X) Entry(SSub).pack(side = LEFT, expand = YES, fill = X) SSub.pack(side = TOP, fill = X) SSub = Frame(Sub) Entry(SSub).pack(side = LEFT, expand = YES, fill = X) Entry(SSub).pack(side = LEFT, expand = YES, fill = X) SSub.pack(side = TOP, fill = X) Sub.pack(side = TOP, fill = X, anchor = N) Sub = Frame(Root) Label(Sub, text = "Other stuff here.").pack() Sub.pack() mainloop() You just didn't have the Sub frame around everything to keep them glued together and at the top.
