ttk Notebook not expanding with grid geometry manager

Question

I cannot work out how to have a ttk Notebook widget expand correctly when the GUI is resized using the .grid method in tk. It is straightforward in .pack, I have tried some sticky configuration methods and they don't see to do anything useful.

Code

import tkinter as tk                     
from tkinter import ttk 

root = tk.Tk() 
root.title("Tab Widget")
root.geometry("500x350") 
tabControl = ttk.Notebook(root) 
  
tab1 = ttk.Frame(tabControl) 
tab2 = ttk.Frame(tabControl)
 
tabControl.add(tab1, text ='Tab 1') 
tabControl.add(tab2, text ='Tab 2')

tabControl.pack(expand = 1, fill ="both")
#tabControl.grid(column=0, row=0, sticky= tk.E+tk.W+tk.N+tk.S)

root.mainloop() 

Desired Outcome

A gui that can be stretched and have the tab control and frame resize with the new window size.

Grids, by default, shrink. If you more pack-like behavior, you must give the cells 'weight.' It's pretty easy to do:

import tkinter as tk                     
from tkinter import ttk 

root = tk.Tk() 
root.title("Tab Widget")
root.geometry("500x350") 
tabControl = ttk.Notebook(root) 
  
tab1 = ttk.Frame(tabControl) 
tab2 = ttk.Frame(tabControl)
 
tabControl.add(tab1, text ='Tab 1') 
tabControl.add(tab2, text ='Tab 2')

tk.Grid.rowconfigure(root, 0, weight=1)
tk.Grid.columnconfigure(root, 0, weight=1)
tabControl.grid(column=0, row=0, sticky=tk.E+tk.W+tk.N+tk.S)

root.mainloop() 

That should do it. Let us know if you have more questions etc.
