How can I shorten my Tkinter textbox code to avoid repetition?

Question

I'm writing a custom textbox to save my customer data to my database. I use Tkinter in python to create the UI, there are 5 textbox, each for different purpose. This is the code I use to create the textbox:

windows_a = Frame(root)
windows_a.pack(side=RIGHT, anchor=NE, padx=5, pady=30)
windows_a = Text(windows_a, width=16, height=38, font=("Consolas Bold", 11),
                 undo=True, tabs=25, insertbackground="white",
                 selectbackground="gray", selectforeground="yellow",
                 background="black", foreground="lime", wrap="none")
windows_a.pack()
windows_b = Frame(root)
windows_b.pack(side=RIGHT, anchor=NE, padx=0, pady=30)
windows_b = Text(windows_b, width=16, height=38, font=("Consolas Bold", 11),
                 undo=True, tabs=25, insertbackground="white",
                 selectbackground="gray", selectforeground="yellow",
                 background="black", foreground="lime", wrap="none")
windows_b.pack()
windows_c = Frame(root)
windows_c.pack(side=RIGHT, anchor=NE, padx=5, pady=30)
windows_c = Text(windows_c, width=30, height=38, font=("Consolas Bold", 11),
                 undo=True, tabs=25, insertbackground="white",
                 selectbackground="gray", selectforeground="yellow",
                 background="black", foreground="lime", wrap="none")
windows_c.pack()
username, password = Frame(root), Frame(root)
username.pack(side=TOP, anchor=NW, padx=5, pady=5)
username.place(x=5, y=35)
username = Text(username, width=10, height=1, font=("Consolas Bold", 11),
                undo=True, tabs=25, insertbackground="white",
                selectbackground="gray", selectforeground="yellow",
                background="black", foreground="lime")
username.pack()
password.pack(side=TOP, anchor=NW, padx=5, pady=0)
password.place(x=5, y=62)
password = Text(password, width=10, height=1, font=("Consolas Bold", 11),
                undo=True, tabs=25, insertbackground="white",
                selectbackground="gray", selectforeground="yellow",
                background="black", foreground="lime")
password.pack()

As you can see, apart from the position and size, the code is the same so I want to shorten it to make the code less repetitive. I tried to use grid but the different in their position and size make grid not a viable option.

Is there a way I can achieve the same output with less code, that isn't so repetitive?

Following up on Henry's answer above: You can use loops to dynamically create CustomText objects.

windows_a, windows_b, windows_c = Frame(root), Frame(root), Frame(root)
widths = [16, 16, 30]
i = 0

for window in [windows_a, windows_b, windows_c]:
    window.pack(side=RIGHT, anchor=NE, padx=5, pady=30)
    CustomText(window, width = widths[i], height = 38).pack()
    i+= 1

username, password = Frame(root), Frame(root)

yi = 35

for frame in [username, password]:
    frame.place(x=5, y=yi)
    CustomText(frame, width=10, height=1).pack()
    yi = 64 # or yi += 29 if there eventually becomes more than two objects to loop through.
