On a scrollbar for tkinter

[eneskristo]

Hello people!
I'm new to tkinter, but I have to use it for a program for a competition. So, I make a RadioButton program using a while loop. So far so good, fully working. BUT it didn't show the full content, even after maximising the window. So, my question is, how do I make a scroll bar(On x and y axis) for my Main Frame. I can provide additional info if needed.
Notes:
Python 3.2 (Using Portable Python for a while. Outdated but meh.)
Thank you in advance!

Have you already searched 'python tkinter scrollbar', with maybe
'example' added? Or looked at the links given in the library manual chapter?

Yes, indeed I have, but so far I have only found material for scrolling in other stuff, not the main frame. If you can give me a link...

I know you're using Python3.x, so there may be new functionality in Tkinter that i am not aware of yet. I still have oodles of Python2.x dependencies and really don't see a need to make the jump yet -- so keep that in mind when taking my advice below.

In the old days of Tkinter, if you wanted to scroll the mainframe (aka:root, aka:Tkinter.Tk) you had two choices:

OPTION_1. Use tk.Canvas and "create_window" method
http://infohost.nmt.edu/tcc/help/pubs/tkinter/web/create_window.html

OPTION_2. The "TIX" extension widgets for Tkinter has a "scrolledwindow" object that requires much less work and provides a more intuitive interface than the canvas.

PS: It's "Terry" not "Teddy".

@Terry
Quite sorry but had to write that message in a hurry, didn't notice the name.

@Rick
I found some solutions for python 2.x, but still, as I am with the future, I need a futuristic solution or 2, so if anyone else could help me, I'd be grateful!

Hi,
I usually don't use tkinter myself, hence others may have more
idiomatic suggestions,
but you can of course use ScrolledWindow tix with python3; cf.:

from tkinter import tix

root = tix.Tk()
root.title("scrolled window")
root.geometry("50x500+50+50")
sw= tix.ScrolledWindow(root)
sw.pack(fill=tix.BOTH, expand=1)
for i in range(1,101):
cb = tix.Checkbutton(sw.window, text=str(i))
cb.pack(fill=tix.BOTH, expand=0)
root.mainloop()

hth,
vbr

Thank you sir! It really helped!
