Structure of widget creation

A widget has a parent widget
A widget must be packed (placed in the parent widget) before it can appear visually
Typical structure:
widget = Tk_class(parent_widget, 
                  arg1=value1, arg2=value2)
widget.pack(side='left')
Variables can be tied to the contents of, e.g., text entries, but only special Tkinter variables are legal: StringVar, DoubleVar, IntVar
