The widget names look fine to, and the 3.6 naming is way better, because 
it can be used for debugging more easily. The behaviour you describe can 
have two reasons, a) the same widget can be packed twice b) the widgets 
use the same variable. In Tk, a widget does not need an associate 
variable - which can be done by setting the variable to an empty string, 
or by leaving this option off.

Presumably Python 3.6 passes anything else than an empty string to Tk as 
the -variable option, maybe a mistranslated None? Can't test it myself, 
but in your example you could, for instance, check the output of 
self.call(w, 'configure'), which lists you the Tk side configuration, or 
self.call(w, 'configure', '-variable') to get specifically the bound 
variable.
