This creates a widget and calls the grid method. It stores 
the result of the grid method('None' as it happens) in 
the variable label.

>     label = Label(root, text="Label1")

This creates a Label widget and stores it in the variable label

>     label.grid()

And this places the widget called 'label' in the UI using 
the grid() method.

Assuming you want to refer to 'label' in the future the second 
is the only one that makes sense. The first one will always 
result in 'label' being None, which is not very useful.
