Newbie Q: Missing Frame

[Michele Rosen]

I'm not sure why this is happening, but one way to
avoid this would be to use grid instead of pack and
specify the row and column where you want the frames
and label to appear...

Subject: Newbie Q: Missing Frame

When I run the following code, I see a large window,
with two frames,
the blue on top, and the yellow on the bottom.

 When I attempt to add a label to frame 2 , (by
removing the #'s), I
still see the blue frame, but the yellow frame is
missing, and just
the label is showing in it's place.

Running on NT4, Python versions 1.5+ and 2.0

Any help appreciated.

PS..is there a way to break out of "mainloop" via a
button command,
and run the code subsequent to the GUI code?


***** Start sample code ******

from Tkinter import *
win = Tk()

def test():

  frame_1 = Frame(win, width = 500, height = 100, bg =
'blue')
  frame_1.pack()

  frame_2 = Frame(win, width = 500, height = 100, bg =
'yellow')
  frame_2.pack()

  # label_1 = Label(frame_2, text = "Will this work?",
bg = 'red')
  #label_1.pack()

  win.mainloop()

test()

**** End sample code ****
