如何更改 Tkinter 框架子类的属性？

Question

Context

I am developing an app with Tkinter in Python 3.8 for some school students, that gets them to input some working out to a maths problem, then checks whether they are correct.

Approach

Each widget (or groups of widgets) are organised onto a ttk.Frame subclass, which is then instantiated in a MainWindow class that organises them using the.grid() geometry manager. For example:

class Questions(ttk.Frame):
    def __init__(self, master):
        super().__init__(master)
        question_style = ttk.Style(self)
        question_style.configure("q.TLabel", padding=30)
        question = ttk.Label(self, text=f"{QA[q_number][0]}",
                             justify=tk.CENTER, style="q.TLabel")
        question.pack(fill=tk.BOTH)

The above Questions class is responsible for displaying the questions. I have taken the same approach for pretty much every widget - navigation buttons, entry fields, etc. I took this approach because I thought it would afford me the greatest design flexibilities, as not only could I change the appearance of each widget, but also the frame on which they were placed (from my experience, school students can be very aesthetically picky).

Problem

I cannot figure out how to change the attributes of the Frame on which the widgets are placed. For instance, how would I change the height and width of the frame? I have tried the following, to no avail:

class Questions(ttk.Frame):
    def __init__(self, master):
        super().__init__(master)

        self.height = 50
        self.width = 50

        question_style = ttk.Style(self)
        question_style.configure("q.TLabel", padding=30)
        question = ttk.Label(self, text=f"{QA[q_number][0]}",
                             justify=tk.CENTER, style="q.TLabel")
        question.pack(fill=tk.BOTH)

I have also tried self.configure(height=50) but that didn't work either.

How can I change the frame on which these widgets are placed? Is there a better way to tackle this? Should I abandon the Frame subclass approach?

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

ps I wasn't quite sure how to word this question so any advice on that is also appreciated.

Answer 1

I do not know Tkinter much, but have you tried by passing the parameters to the constructor of the superclass?

super().__init__(self, width=50, height=50)
