ps tkinter

For a bit more help about my previous message (outlook bar)
does anybody know how to reparent or change a widget(button)'s owner
in tkinter ?
here's my code that doesn't work :
def inverse(self):
if (self.texte=="top"):
self.texte="bottom"
btn = self
btn.pack_forget()
btn.configure(parent = self.top, text=self.texte)
btn.pack(side=TOP,fill=X,expand=1)
else:
self.texte="top"
btn = self
btn.pack_forget()
btn.configure(parent=self.bottom, text=self.texte)
btn.parent = None
btn.pack(side=BOTTOM,fill=X,expand=1)

Short answer: you can't. At tcl level, the name for the button contains
the name of its parent, and you basically can't rename a button.

But, having no idea about what you call an "outlook bar" since I never
used outlook in my whole life, another solution may exist, not requiring
to "reparent" an existing widget. If you only describe exactly what you're
trying to do, someone may be able to provide far better help.
