For widgets that don't accept keyboard focus you can use the
highlightbackground option to create a colored border (although you
cannot add a "3D"-relief this way):

#############################
from Tkinter import *

root = Tk()
f = Frame(root, bg='white', highlightthickness=2,
highlightbackground='red', width=200, height=200) f.pack(padx=100,
pady=100, fill='both', expand=1)

root.mainloop()
############################
