Auto scrolling canvas to show off screen tk Entries

Okay! So, after a weekend of not looking at the code, I came back and realized a few things. First and foremost, I understood what Bryan was getting at and I decided to scrap using the Treeview. I want it to appear as if it is scrolling, rather than it actually scrolling. I'm not actually scrolling anything here, it's like in Star Wars where the text "scrolls" up the screen at the beginning.

For any future individuals who come across this wanting something similar to Star Wars where the text appears to float up the screen, or scroll up the screen, or any other type of keyword that boils down to text moving from top to bottom or bottom to top here is my implementation. It involves animation. Below is all the code you need to run and test this yourself in Python 3.X

# Python program to create a table    import tkinter as tkfrom tkinter import ttkfrom ESTDisplayEntity import ESTDisplayEntity  class Table():    def __init__(self, root):        #This is the base frame that all Labels will be nested inside of        self._movingFrame = tk.Frame(root)    def populateTable(self, lst):        # find total number of rows and         # columns in list         total_rows = len(lst)         total_columns = len(lst[0])         #Magic number alert: This maxWidth is a magic number that just so happens to let the columns fill up the space needed for a 1920x1080 monitor        #It has something to do with tkinter using character units as a measurement of width when text is involved.        maxWidth = 200        # code for creating table. Simple nested for loop for accessing all parts of a 2D array.         # our data is in the form of [[],[],[],[]]        for i in range(total_rows):             for j in range(total_columns):                 #Creating an anchor variable depending on what column we are inside of.                 #Will look like this: [   1|Some Name Here         |Some club here        |  20  |  34  |  44  |  total  |]                if j == 0:                      width = int(maxWidth*.03)                    anchor = 'e'                elif j == 1:                    width = int(maxWidth*.40)                    anchor = 'w'                     elif j == 2:                    width = int(maxWidth*0.25)                    anchor = 'w'                                    else:                    width = int(maxWidth*(.30/(total_columns-3)))                    anchor = 'center'                                                            e = tk.Label(self._movingFrame, width=width, fg='Black',                                 font=('Arial',16,'bold'),bd=1, relief='solid', text=lst[i][j], anchor=anchor)                                        e.grid(row=i, column=j)                     #This adjusts how quickly each column adjusts. Currently the second and third row are important.        #  as their weights are higher, so they will adjust faster. The first column does not adjust        #  all columns after the club column will be lower than the club column but higher than the rank column        #  so the score will be able to shrink and expand as needed.

This code should produce this.

Hope this helps anyone out there trying to make something similar to scrollable text, without using Treeview, listbox, or canvas.
