New submission from Peter Vex <petia...@gmail.com>:
When you want to simply place a widget on a window and you also want to store the reference for that widget in a variable you can't do that in one line, which is really unpleasant, because when you create a new widget these things are usually the first what you want to do with a widget and breaking it two line is just making things more complicated. For example, if you want to create 3 label, place it next to each other and store their reference: import tkinter as tk root = tk.Tk() # you can't do that: # here the variables assigned to None, since grid() returns 'nothing' label1 = tk.Label(root).grid(row=0, column=0) label2 = tk.Label(root).grid(row=0, column=1) label3 = tk.Label(root).grid(row=0, column=2) # actually, you must do this: label1 = tk.Label(root) label1.grid(row=0, column=0) label2 = tk.Label(root) label2.grid(row=0, column=1) label3 = tk.Label(root) label3.grid(row=0, column=2) ---------- components: Tkinter messages: 333318 nosy: Peter Vex priority: normal pull_requests: 10980 severity: normal status: open title: Place, Pack and Grid should return the widget type: behavior versions: Python 3.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue35700> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
