My previous post was hasty and we all know,  
"Haste makes waste."

Try this;

If you use wiget-01.pack_forget() or 
wiget-01.grid_forget(),  you can now build 
wiget-02 using wiget-02.pack or grid() for the 
same location. 

You can reinstall uninstalled wigets by using 
pack() or grid() again for those hidden wigets. 
However only after uninstalling for the wigets in 
those locations. 



root = Tk()

test1 = Button(root, text='Test No.1 button', bg = 
'yellow', width = 15, height = 10)
test1.grid(row=0, column=0)
test1.grid_forget()


test2 = Button(root, text='Test #2 button', bg = 
'green', width = 15, height = 10)
test2.grid(row=0, column=0)

mainloop()
