tkinter access child from parent

Question

I have a master canvas

canvas = Canvas(root,width=1200,height=800)

and a lot of child widgets such as lists and frames and canvases inside frames

I want to write a function that gives in just the parent canvas and access the child in a form like

def showInstrumentList(canvas):
    child_listbox = canvas.listbox <== this kind of approach (not real code)

I have a lot of child widgets spread across my program and i really need a way to access these child widgets from the top down. (So everything starting from the parent and finding its way down)

Is there anyway to do that?

Answer 1

You can do

canvas = Canvas(root,width=1200,height=800)
canvas.label = Label(canvas)

You can add new attributes.
