Prevent GUI layout from changing?

[skanemupp]

when i added the results-LABEL the buttons have changed place.
meh why cant i just put buttons and stuff on a specific coordinate and
have them staying there?




#! /usr/bin/env python

self.master.title("Calculator")

with a little bit of padding"""

command that will be called when the button is clicked"""

I can't help with your sizing problem, I don't know grids. But don't do
this:

def Display(self, number):
self.expr = self.expr + number
self.lbText = Label(self, text=self.expr)
self.lbText.grid(row=0, column=0)

def Calculate(self):
self.expr = str(eval(self.expr))#try catch tex 3+6+
self.lbText = Label(self, text=self.expr)
self.lbText.grid(row=1, column=1)
self.expr = ""

You're creating a *new* Label object for each keystroke (they stack on the
same place and only the newest is visible, I presume).
Instead, you should change the text inside the existing widget:

self.lbText.config(text=self.expr)

(there is no need to reposition the widget)
Label is described here http://effbot.org/tkinterbook/label.htm
and you may want to learn to use Tkinter variables:

the problem is that when i start writing long numbers the window grows
bigger which is really annoying. is that ebcause of what u said?

as of now i can see exactly the expression i typed and the answer it
is just annoing that it doesnt stay the same size.
