Do you mean with Tkinter?  I'll assume so.

You would use the place() methods (instead of pack()).  With this
geometry manager, you can position widgets absolutely, or relative to
another widget (for example, centered in another widget).

>>> from Tkinter import *
>>> root =Tk()
>>> pane = Frame(root)
>>> Label(pane, text="Pane Title", bg="red").pack()
>>> b = Button(pane, width=12, height=12, text="Go!")
>>> # place the top-right corner (NE) at (-2,2) within the frame
>>> b.place(relx=1,x=-2,y=2, anchor=NE)
>>> pane.pack()

You'll see the red in the background from the Label widget.  The
Button is placed over it.

>>> b.lower()  # you'll see the "Pane Title" appear
>>> b.lift()   # you'll see the Button come back to the foreground
