Tkinter Listbox artifact

I am developing a UI that uses a Tkinter Listbox item to display a bunch of dynamically inserted frames that contain other labels. The Listbox works, but in turn it is displaying some weird indexes that I do not want to see in the window. They look like this.
enter image description here
How can I disable these indexes from showing up?
This is the part of code that is responsible for initialising the Listbox 

vertical_frame = Listbox(root)

vertical_frame.config(bg="#394144", bd=0, highlightthickness=0, height=10, selectmode=0,
                      activestyle="none", fg="#fff", exportselection=0)

Also, the frame is used in a function to be able to modify it's contents in a dynamic way. The only thing I do there is 

_frame.insert(END, temp_frame)
_frame.pack()

where _frame stands for vertical_frame, but it is passed to a function. How can I disable the wierd numbers from showing up?

Those "weird indexes" are the string representation of widgets. To get them to not show up, you need to remove the code that is trying to insert a widget into a listbox. The listbox can only display text.

If you are trying to create a scrollable list of frames, you will need to either embed them in a canvas, or embed them in a text widget. Those are the two widgets that both support scrolling and the embedding of other widgets.
