Uhm, I don't think you should use the grid manager to obtain a window 
like that. The grid manager is for equally distributing widgets both 
horizontally and vertically. 
And I'm not sure that you can realize that window look with Tkinter.
You could get close by horizontally packing each widget row in a frame 
and then vertically packing the frames in the window. But the look will be
quite different than your target. If you are not satisfied with that I
suggest you move to other toolkits which have more complex geometry 
managers than .pack and .grid.
