title: Tkinter.grid spacing options?
body: <p>I'm new to Tkinter, and I tried creating an app with the grid layout manager. However, I can't seem to find a way to utilize it the way I want to. What I need to do is simulate a grid full of 'cells' so that I can place, for example, a label in cell (3,8) or a button in cell (5,1). Here is an example of what I've tried:</p>
  
  <pre><code>import tkinter as tk
  root = tk.Tk()
  
  label = tk.Label(root, text = 'Label')
  label.grid(column = 3, row = 8)
  
  button = tk.Button(root, text = 'Button')
  button.grid(column = 5, row = 1)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Tkinter keeps the relative position of each widget (i.e. <code>button</code> is above and to the right of <code>label</code>), but it ignores any space in between. I've searched a bit for this problem and found out about <code>weight</code>, but that doesn't seem to be what I'm looking for; I'd like something independent of the <code>label</code> and <code>button</code>'s layouts. Thanks for the help!</p>
