you may want to have a look at the Tkconstants.py module, where all these
contants like S, N and so on are defined. If you do

	from Tkinter import *

all of these are added to the namespace automagically, however if you do

	import Tkinter

the constants have to be either addressed by Tkinter.S etc. *or* (and
that is what I would recommend) you can simply use the string values the
constants represent, like "s" for S, "left" for LEFT and so on, as in

	labelCel.grid(row=1, column=1, sticky="se")
