Thanks. PS: I suggest to change all Tk widgets to ttk widgets for optical reasons, but that's a side note. I thought I had all as ttk; I'll check and correct as necessary.

Each tab displays a ttk.Frame with multiple widgets. Where there is a choice, ttk widgets are used. They make the most different on macOS and least difference on Windows (because the tk widgets look pretty good there). The code is in idlelib/configdialog.py. ConfigDialog creates a window and notebook and adds the tab frames. As Christian indicated, the notebook itself takes very little code. Each of the tab frames is a separate Frame subclass in the same file, but they could be in separate files. Thanks, Terry. Regards, Rich -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Christian, True, but it is in Python: a file ending in .py which, in this case, contains a class of tkinter widgets. Is it correct, you want to know how to place more than one widget - a arrangement of widgets - onto a notebook tab? Yes, as they are defined and laid out in separate files/modules. This is achieved by a ttk.Frame() widget, which holds all the other stuff, and then you place the frame onto the notebook: n=ttk.Notebook() f1=ttk.Frame() # put all your stuff into f1 n.add(f1, text="Module1") # repeat for your other "modules" This looks to me like it's adding the text, "Module1" to the tab. Yes and no. It puts the empty frame in the notebook and labels it with "Module1" so that when you click the label, the frame is raised. Of course, not very interesting, because the frame is empty. Here: nb = ttk.Notebook(Main) ... page3 = ttk.Frame(nb) ... # add titles to tabs nb.add(page3, text='Biota') ... This puts the text on each notebook tab, correct? It adds an empty frame, as above. If so, how do I add class BiotaDataForm(Tk.Frame): which defines all the widgets in the module in views/biota.py into the body of the notebook's page3? Add that thing instead of the frame. blabla=BioDataForm() # whatever args it needs, maybe parent=nb nb.add(blabla, text="Biodata") Christian PS: I suggest to change all Tk widgets to ttk widgets for optical reasons, but that's a side note. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Adding tkinter modules to notebook tabs
My Python3-3.8.2 application has 8 modules with subject-specific data entry/editing widgets and I want to display each module on a ttk.Notebook. Each notebook resource I've found in my reference books and on the web describe how to create a notebook and tabs and add labels to the tabs; a few describe how to place individual widgets on a tab. But I've not found how to place a widget-filled module on a notebook tab. I am asking for references I can read to learn how to do this.
