Adding padding to a tkinter widget only on one side


The padding options padx and pady of the grid and pack methods can take a 2-tuple that represent the left/right and top/bottom padding.

Here's an example:

import tkinter as tkclass MyApp():    def __init__(self):        self.root = tk.Tk()        l1 = tk.Label(self.root, text="Hello")        l2 = tk.Label(self.root, text="World")        l1.grid(row=0, column=0, padx=(100, 10))        l2.grid(row=1, column=0, padx=(10, 100)) app = MyApp()app.root.mainloop()


There are multiple ways of doing that you can use either place or grid or even the packmethod.

Sample code:

from tkinter import *root = Tk()l = Label(root, text="hello" )l.pack(padx=6, pady=4) # where padx and pady represent the x and y axis respectively# well you can also use side=LEFT inside the pack method of the label widget.

To place a widget to on basis of columns and rows , use the grid method:

but = Button(root, text="hello" )but.grid(row=0, column=1)


-pady {10,0}

this way you are mentioning padding on top as 10 and below as 0.
