how can i scroll text on a python tk/tinker Label?

Question

I'm trying to add a simple log output to a tk window/frame.

So far i only found how to (easily) add a vertical scrollbar on canvas , entry lists and text (which is a fullblown text editor and has no textvariable linking support)

The Label can't be attached to a scrollbar (easily) because it lacks the yview attribute.

#my naive attempt:...
self.lbl_log = tk.Label(self, width=80, height=10, textvariable=self.string_log)
self.lbl_log.pack(side="top")
self.vsb = tk.Scrollbar(self, orient="vertical", command=self.lbl_log.yview)
self.lbl_log.configure(yscrollcommand=self.vsb.set)

AttributeError: 'Label' object has no attribute 'yview'

is there any easy and convenient way to scroll a label widget with several lines in python tk? I don't necessarily have to use a Label i just like it because it is simple and has the textvariable convenience) so i'm open to alternative widgets for this problem.

No, there isn't an easy way to scroll a label. If you need to scroll multiple lines, a label is the wrong choice of widget. If you need to scroll multiple lines of text, the text widget is the proper widget.
