I have a frame that I fixed the size of using the grid_propagate() method. I'd like to center a frame within this frame. How do I go about this?

To create a basic frame the name of the parent window is given as the first parameter to the frame() function. Therefore, to add another frame within this frame, just the name of the first frame needs to given to the second frame as the parent window.
To position the Tkinters widgets, we can use place() geometry manager, where we will specify the anchor property. It can take (NW, N, NE, W, CENTER, E, SW, S, SE) as the position of the widget.
Adding a frame within a frame is an easy way to add depth and interest in your image. Framing photography is a great composition technique as you can use it to guide the viewer's eye to the subject, following a certain path. If you practice enough, you will soon see frames everywhere!
To configure and align the text at the CENTER of a Tkinter Text widget, we can use justify=CENTER property.
pack it to fill in all directions. Add padding as needed.
Or, use place which lets you use relative or absolute positioning. You can use a relative x/y of .5/.5 and an anchor of "c" (center).
import Tkinter as tk
root=tk.Tk()
f1 = tk.Frame(width=200, height=200, background="red")
f2 = tk.Frame(width=100, height=100, background="blue")
f1.pack(fill="both", expand=True, padx=20, pady=20)
f2.place(in_=f1, anchor="c", relx=.5, rely=.5)
root.mainloop()
