This sounds like the grid() geometry manager is the perfect tool for
you, is there any special reason why you want to use pack() instead?
With grid() you could easily do something like:

for i in range(len(self.datADR)):
    new = Button(self)
    new.grid(row=0, column=i)
    self.ADRbuttons.append(new)

If you want to change the location of a button later, simply call grid()
again with the new row and column.

I hope this helps
