[Tutor] Dynamic TKinter widgets?

[ALAN GAULD]

Then I remembered that all I need to do to create a widget is simply call it and add it to the layout, so I just created a single Frame and a loop that adds a variable number of widgets. Now I just destroy that Frame (and thus, the widgets it holds), recreate it, and repopulate it.

You store them in a container for the duration. So long as their associated methods 
are connected to your core data then you can use them and dispose of them.
