Python Tkinter Grid doesn't work properly

I am trying to arrange a logo at the top and widgets in 3 part below the logo. I tried to set the ratio of those 3 part to be same, but when I run the code below, the ratio isn't same.

My code is

import tkinter as tk

window = tk.Tk()
window.title("My Program")
window.geometry("700x400")

logo = tk.Label(window, text="Logo")
logo.grid(row=0, column=0, columnspan=3, sticky="nw", padx=10, pady=10)

window.columnconfigure(0, weight=1)
window.columnconfigure(1, weight=1)
window.columnconfigure(2, weight=1)

window.rowconfigure(1, weight=1)
window.rowconfigure(2, weight=1)
window.rowconfigure(3, weight=1)

button1 = tk.Button(window, text="Button 1")
button1.grid(row=1, column=0, sticky="nsew", padx=10, pady=10)

button2 = tk.Button(window, text="Button 2")
button2.grid(row=2, column=0, sticky="nsew", padx=10, pady=10)

button3 = tk.Button(window, text="Button 3")
button3.grid(row=3, column=0, sticky="nsew", padx=10, pady=10)

big_label = tk.Label(window, text="Big Label")
big_label.grid(row=1, column=1, rowspan=3, sticky="nsew", padx=10, pady=10)

button4 = tk.Button(window, text="Button 4")
button4.grid(row=1, column=2, sticky="nsew", padx=10, pady=10)

button5 = tk.Button(window, text="Button 5")
button5.grid(row=2, column=2, sticky="nsew", padx=10, pady=10)

entry = tk.Entry(window)
entry.grid(row=3, column=2, sticky="nsew", padx=10, pady=10)

window.mainloop()

When I run the code, the result is below enter image description here

As you can see, the column 2 is thicker than others. How should I fix this?

Solution

  • If you want all the columns have same size, you need to set uniform=1 in all .columnconfigure(...) as well:

    window.columnconfigure(0, weight=1, uniform=1)
window.columnconfigure(1, weight=1, uniform=1)
window.columnconfigure(2, weight=1, uniform=1)

    Same for all .rowconfigure(...).

    Result:
