Displaying Text in Tkinter: How to Show Words in a Single Line word, word, word

When working with the Tkinter library in Python, you may find yourself wanting to display multiple strings of text in a Text widget. A common problem is displaying these strings in a single line, separated by commas, instead of having each word on a new line or in a restricted area. In this guide, we'll explore an easy solution to this issue!

The Problem

You might have encountered a situation similar to this when coding with Tkinter:

With this code, each word from the list ll is being inserted into a separate Text widget, resulting in a cluttered interface. Instead of seeing a clean separation, you want the output to look more unified, like this: sa, fg.

The Solution

Instead of inserting each word individually within a loop, we can combine the words into a single string before inserting them into the Text widget. Here’s how to do it:

Step 1: Combine the Words

Instead of looping through each individual word, we'll use Python's built-in join() method to concatenate the list of words into a single string, separated by commas. This will create the clean output you desire.

Step 2: Insert Once

We'll simplify the insertion process by placing the pack method outside of the loop, so the Text widget is created and packed just once.

Updated Code

Here's the revised version of your code that accomplishes these tasks:

Key Changes

Single Text Widget: We create only one Text widget to hold our combined string.

Using join(): The join() method ensures that all elements in the list are concatenated into a single string, separated by commas.

Conclusion

By implementing these changes, you can efficiently display multiple words in a single Text widget in Tkinter, resulting in a neat and organized appearance. This approach not only improves readability but also maintains a clean user interface.
