WE are all new to tables in Tkinter because they don;t exist.
You either have to build your own or find a third party one.

Here is a very simple 3 row, 2 column table:

>>> top = tk.Tk()
>>> tab = tk.Frame(top)
>>> tk.Label(tab, text="Left", border=2, relief=tk.SUNKEN,
width=5).grid(column=0,row=0)
>>> tk.Label(tab, text="Right", border=2, relief=tk.SUNKEN,
width=5).grid(column=1,row=0)
>>> tk.Label(tab, text="1L", border=2, relief=tk.SUNKEN,
width=5).grid(column=0,row=1)
>>> tk.Label(tab, text="2L", border=2, relief=tk.SUNKEN,
width=5).grid(column=0,row=2)
>>> tk.Label(tab, text="1R", border=2, relief=tk.SUNKEN,
width=5).grid(column=1,row=1)
>>> tk.Label(tab, text="2R", border=2, relief=tk.SUNKEN,
width=5).grid(column=1,row=2)
>>> tab.pack()
>>> top.mainloop()

I don't have PMW installed but if you substitute

tab = pmw.ScrolledFrame(top)

for the Frame in my example it might just work!

Alternatively there is a ScrolledWindow in Tix,
although I've never used it. (Tix also has a Grid
and ScrolledGrid pair which I've tried to use
but failed to get it to work!)
