Python tkinter same Label called multiple times

is there any way to use same label multiple times? what I have is:

emptyRow = Label(frame)

and when I want use that empty row I call it like this:

emptyRow.grid(row=0)
emptyRow.grid(row=3)

i can only have latest call on that grid so row=0 will be ignored and row=3 will be used, any way to reuse it so I dont have to create another emptyRow3 = Label(frame) ?

You may define your element as a function which returns element. It'll create a new object each time you call it:

emptyRow = lambda:Label(frame)

emptyRow().grid(row=0)
emptyRow().grid(row=3)

short answer: no you can't display a widget in multiple places/ create several empty labels without calling Label(frame) for each one.

if creating an empty label is something you do often you can make a short function to do it:

def fill_empty(parent,row,column):
    empty = Label(parent)
    empty.grid(row=row,column=column)
    return empty

but I'd highly recommend using padding instead of dummy widgets to space things out, see this documentation for details.
