[Tutor] Shortening the code

Alright! By the way, it seems like some people favour the use of pastebins, 
while others don’t, which is the way to go and why?

Strange, I got that error now when I tried to run it just now. But it took like 30 seconds for the error to actually
appear. Do you have any idea why this happened?

>When I change create_widgets() to:

    > def create_widgets(self):

                 > (0, 3, '03'), (0, 4, '04'),
                  >(1, 0, '05')]

            >button['command'] = partial(button_clicked, button)
            >button.grid(row=row, column=column)

>It works as expected


Yes it works perfectly fine now. I wonder, in the last section of the code:
>button.grid(row=row, column=column)

Could I put columnspan in there?
Like:
Button.grid(row=row, column=column, columnspan=columnspan)
That is not necessary to do, I just was curious if that was possible.



Also, I have came to the conlcusion that if I should add the textfiles we discussed 
earlier on, would I somehow put them in the list, list_chair? 
Assuming you feel that it is time for do this, how do I implement the creation of
these text files into the code that we discussed earlier?


Thanks for your help and suggestion!
