Tkinter question

[Greg McFarlane]

Why do you want to make restrictions on what your users can do with
your application?

It is extremely annoying to have a window on your screen that you
cannot resize.  It may be covering some other window I want to look
at, or I may want to expand it to see more of the scrollable parts. 
If you use grid instead of pack, it is easier to write your code so
that the window still looks beautiful even if your users resize it.

More power to the people!
