[New-bugs-announce] [issue44971] Named widget has NoneType after single line creation

[Russell Crosser]

New submission from Russell Crosser <russell.crosser at gmail.com>:

Declaring a widget in the following form:
...
label2 = ttk.Label(root, text='Show2 Label').pack()
...
leaves the widget with a NoneType, and unable to be assigned to (for instance to assign new text). If giving a widget a name, I expect to use it later in the program.
This declaration works correctly:
...
label2 = ttk.Label(root, text='Show2 Label')
label2.pack()
...
Simple tkinter program attached. Only tested with 3.9.6 on Win 10.
