python pack() and grid() methods together

Im new to python so please forgive my Noob-ness. Im trying to create a status bar at the bottom of my app window, but it seems every time I use the pack() and grid() methods together in the same file, the main app window doesn’t open. When I comment out the line that says statusbar.pack(side = BOTTOM, fill = X) my app window opens up fine but if I leave it in it doesn’t, and also if I comment out any lines that use the grid method the window opens with the status bar. It seems like I can only use either pack() or grid() but not both. I know I should be able to use both methods. Any suggestions? Here’s the code:

Python Tkinter Embed Matplotlib in GUI

I’m trying to embed a plot in my Tkinter GUI coded in Python. I believe the code below succeeds in simply putting a graph into a canvas, but I don’t have any control of the canvas location within the GUI grid. I want to be able to have a subsection of my GUI be the plot…not the entirety of it. How can I position this canvas widget?

2D grid data visualization in Python

I need to visualize some data. It’s basic 2D grid, where each cell have float value. I know how to e.g. assign color to value and paint grid in OpenCV. But the point here is that there are so many values so it’s nearly impossible to do that. I am looking for some method, where I could use gradient. For example value -5.0 will be represented by blue, 0 – black, and +5.0 as red. Is there any way to do that in Python?
