I know I can do this via grid, but I'm wondering if this is possible via pack.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Here's the 1 line layout I'm trying to achieve:</div>
<div> </div>
<div> [Label] [Entry ]</div>
<div>^^^</div>
<div>Where the ^^^ indicates leading space due to right alignment of the label against its Entry.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Listed below is my test code. I've tried using Tkinter's Label and ttk's Label. I've tried using anchor, justify, and fill in various combinations without success. One interesting observation: the ttk Label widget always seems to align left in the scenario below while I can get the Tkinter Label widget to center or left align, but never right align.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Perhaps I'm confused about when to use justification vs. alignment to achieve my goal?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Your thoughts appreciated!</div>

<div># note that I'm explictly setting width to create an environment for alignment or justification<br>
