How to pack a horizontal scrollbar under the listbox (python and tkinter)?

I am writing a program that requires output to be put into a list box, and it sometimes exceeds the x size of the listbox. I added a horizontal scrollbar and it scrolls horizontally with no problem but doesn't get packed under the listbox and instead gets packed next to it.

Is there a way to solve this ? I probably could solve it using .grid(), but I need to keep it using .pack() due to some other problems.

from tkinter import *

master = Tk()

scrollbary = Scrollbar(master)
scrollbarx = Scrollbar(master, orient=HORIZONTAL)

listbox = Listbox(master, yscrollcommand=scrollbary.set, xscrollcommand=scrollbarx.set)
for i in range(1, 100):
    listbox.insert(END, "NUMBEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER:")
    listbox.insert(END, str(i))

scrollbary.config(command=listbox.yview)
scrollbarx.config(command=listbox.xview)

listbox.pack(side=LEFT, fill=BOTH)
scrollbary.pack(side=RIGHT, fill=Y)
scrollbarx.pack(side=BOTTOM, fill=X)

mainloop()

I've tried some googling but didn't find anything useful, or it was not understandable with my kind of limited knowledge of python and tkinter... Thanks for any help!

The problem was the packing order. I tried reordering it to:

  1. scrollbar_x
  2. listbox
  3. scrollbar_y

and now it works. Thanks for your time @stovfl !
