pack is a method of Tkinter widget that needs to be called in order to have it displayed with the current geometry manager(which per default is the pack method)
A geometry manager is just a way for arranging widgets into a window. Another geometry manager is "grid" If you don't specify anything, the widget will simply not be displayed.. see here: http://effbot.org/tkinterbook/pack.htm Hugo Shi Mu wrote: > what does pack mean in the following code? > > # File: hello1.py > > from Tkinter import * > > root = Tk() > > w = Label(root, text="Hello, world!") > w.pack() > > root.mainloop() > _______________________________________________ > Tutor maillist - [email protected] > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor > _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
