Python - Tkinter PanedWindow

A PanedWindow widget is a container that allows multiple panes to be arranged horizontally or vertically. Each pane contains a single widget and adjacent panes can be resized by dragging a movable sash between them. The PanedWindow has options like orientation, border width, and relief. It provides methods like add() to include child widgets and config() to modify options. An example creates a 3-pane PanedWindow with nested vertical panes to demonstrate its use.
