Tkinter Inner Padding Can't Be On Only One Side

This might be confusing but for some odd reason using ipadx or ipady in .pack() with (1,0) or like this: Label(root, text='Hello World').pack(ipadx=(1,0)) will always make this err

Solution 1:

The answer you linked to is wrong, and I'll update it. ipadx and ipady do not support a tuple as an argument. From the official tcl/tk docs:

-ipadx amount

Amount specifies how much horizontal internal padding to leave on each side of the slave(s). Amount must be a valid screen distance, such as 2 or .5c. It defaults to 0.

-ipady amount

Amount specifies how much vertical internal padding to leave on each side of the slave(s). Amount defaults to 0.

-padx amount

Amount specifies how much horizontal external padding to leave on each side of the slave(s). Amount may be a list of two values to specify padding for left and right separately. Amount defaults to 0.

-pady amount

Amount specifies how much vertical external padding to leave on each side of the slave(s). Amount may be a list of two values to specify padding for top and bottom separately. Amount defaults to 0.
