Answer 1

Diego please see this

Answer 2

mainloop() can be used without a widget object. There's not much difference in the normal case.

>>> help(tkinter.Tk.mainloop)

mainloop(self, n=0)
Call the mainloop of Tk.

>>> help(tkinter.mainloop)

mainloop(n=0)
Run the mainloop of Tcl.

Where would widget.pack() be in your code?

Answer 3

Diego
widget.pack() is not in this code but generally I had used only pack() and it is still working in other code

Also what is Tcl ? When should we use mainloop() and when wd.mainloop()
(wd is the name of random widget)

Answer 4

Tcl: Embeddable scripting language.

Tk: GUI toolkit and widgets based on Tcl.

Same answer goes for pack() and widget.pack().
