with ttk.Treeview you can add images only to the first column.

There are several third party solutions available, though.
TkinterTreectrl is a wrapper for the tktreectrl tcl extension and
contains a multi column listbox class that can be set up to use images in
any column:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/tktreectrl/
https://sourceforge.net/projects/tkintertreectrl/
(seems like sf's project pages are down today, but downloads are
possible).

There are some other alternatives that I (being somewhat biased
towards the treectrl :) have never been using myself, which should be able
to do this, like tablelist and maybe tktable, you can look at this
archived page for more information and download links:

Finally there seems to be a tix.TList widget which might be able to do
what you want, though I never used it myself, see
https://docs.python.org/3/library/tkinter.tix.html

Best regards

Michael

You'll learn something about men and women -- the way they're supposed
to be.  Caring for each other, being happy with each other, being good
to each other.  That's what we call love.  You'll like that a lot.
