grid lays out widgets in a structured grid, pack lays them along box edges, and place positions them absolutely or relatively. grid and pack cannot be used together for the same parent but can be used in the same app. mouse events include button presses, releases, motion, wheel, enter/leave, focus changes, and key presses.

>> What is the difference between grid and pack in tkinter ?

grid is used to lay out widgets in a grid. Another answer says it "overlays a graph" which
is a bit of a misnomer. It doesn't overlay anything, it merely arranges widgets along row
and column boundaries. It is great for creating tables and other structured types of layouts.

pack lays things out along the sides of a box. It excels at doing layouts where everything
is on a single row or in a single column (think rows of buttons in a toolbar or dialog box).
It's also useful for very simple layouts such as a navigator on the left and a main work area
on the right. It can be used to create very complex layouts but it gets tricky until you fully
understand the packing algorithm.

You cannot use both grid and pack with widgets that have a common parent. Your app
may work but it is much more likely to get into an infinite loop as each manager tries to
layout the widgets, then the other notices the widgets change size and try to adjust, etc. etc.

The third manage is place. Place is great for doing either absolute positioning (ie: place
widget at a given x/y) or relative (eg: place a widget on the right edge of some other
widget).

While you cannot mix grid and pack within the same container (a container is typically a
frame), you can use both grid and pack within a single application. This is very, very
common since each has strengths and weaknesses. I use both on a regular basis.

>> Explain different mouse events in tkinter.

<Button-1> Button 1 is the leftmost button, button 2 is the middle button


(where available), and button 3 the rightmost button.

<Button-1>, <ButtonPress-1>, and <1> are all synonyms.

For mouse wheel support under Linux, use Button-4 (scroll


up) and Button-5 (scroll down)

<B1-Motion> The mouse is moved, with mouse button 1 being held down (use
B2 for the middle button, B3 for the right button).

<ButtonRelease-1> Button 1 was released. This is probably a better choice in


most cases than the Button event, because if the user
accidentally presses the button, they can move the mouse
off the widget to avoid setting off the event.

<Double-Button-1> Button 1 was double clicked. You can use Double or Triple as
prefixes.

<Enter> The mouse pointer entered the widget (this event doesn’t mean
that the user pressed the Enter key!).

<Leave> The mouse pointer left the widget.


<FocusIn> Keyboard focus was moved to this widget, or to a child of
this widget.

<FocusOut> Keyboard focus was moved from this widget to another widget.

<Return> The user pressed the Enter key. For an ordinary 102-key
PC-style keyboard, the special keys are Cancel (the Break
key), BackSpace, Tab, Return(the Enter key), Shift_L (any
Shift key), Control_L (any Control key), Alt_L (any Alt key),
Pause, Caps_Lock, Escape, Prior (Page Up), Next (Page Down),
End, Home, Left, Up, Right, Down, Print, Insert, Delete, F1,
F2, F3, F4, F5, F6, F7, F8, F9, F10, F11, F12, Num_Lock, and
Scroll_Lock.

<Key> The user pressed any key. The key is provided in the char
member of the event object passed to the callback (this is an
empty string for special keys).

a The user typed an “a”. Most printable characters can be used


as is. The exceptions are space (<space>) and less than
(<less>). Note that 1 is a keyboard binding, while <1> is a
button binding.

<Shift-Up> The user pressed the Up arrow, while holding the Shift key
pressed. You can use prefixes like Alt, Shift, and Control.

<Configure> The widget changed size (or location, on some platforms). The
new size is provided in the width and height attributes of
the event object passed to the callback.

<Activate> A widget is changing from being inactive to being active.


This refers to changes in the state option of a widget such
as a button changing from inactive (grayed out) to active.

<Deactivate> A widget is changing from being active to being inactive.


This refers to changes in the state option of a widget such
as a radiobutton changing from active to inactive (grayed out).

<Destroy> A widget is being destroyed.

<Expose> This event occurs whenever at least some part of your


application or widget becomes visible after having been
covered up by another window.

<KeyRelease> The user let up on a key.

<Map> A widget is being mapped, that is, made visible in the


application. This will happen, for example, when you call the
widget's .grid() method.
<Motion> The user moved the mouse pointer entirely within a widget.

<MouseWheel> The user moved the mouse wheel up or down. At present, this
binding works on Windows and MacOS, but not under Linux.

<Unmap> A widget is being unmapped and is no longer visible.

<Visibility> Happens when at least some part of the application window


becomes visible on the screen.
