Imho it's better to use grid, if you cannot setup your layout with<br>
pack without using extra frames. To tell the truth, I hardly ever use<br>
pack at all, as far as I can see, the only advantage of pack is that it<br>
takes 2 or 3 extra lines of code when you want to replace pack<br>
(fill='both', expand=1) with grid.</blockquote><div><br></div><div>I agree.</div><div><br></div><div>I pretty much only use pack if I'm throwing something together really quick and simple. If you have more than 3 or 4 widgets, it's probably better to use grid, especially if you want some specific layout options.</div>
