let my widgets use pack/grid/place

[Keith Murphy]

ok.  here's what i'm trying to do.  i want to be able to add a label to
anything.  here's the class:

class labelify(Widget):
    def __init__(self, master, item, thetext, location):
        frame = Frame(master)
        label = Label(frame, text=thetext)
        item.master = frame

        label.pack(side=location)
        item.pack(side=location)

        cnf={}
        Widget.__init__(self, master, 'frame', cnf, {})

...and here's the call:
entry = labelify(left_frame, Entry(), 'hi', TOP)
entry.pack()

1) is that widget extention stuff legal?
2) my label disappears, how do i get around that w/o using self
3) is there an easier way to do this?

thanks,
-->keith
