Using PySimpleGUI to divide the window in columns gives an error

I am tring to construct a GUi that would display two columns: one column would have all the input fields and listboxes, the second column would display some data from pandas dataframe.

I thought it would be a good idea to do this using Frames, but I am running into an error when trying to create a Frame:

layout = [sg.Frame('Input data',[[
          sg.Text('Input:'),      
          sg.Input(do_not_clear=False),      
          sg.Button('Read'), sg.Exit(),
          sg.Text('Alternatives:'),
          sg.Listbox(values=('alternatives...', ''), size=(30, 2), key='_LISTBOX_')]])]

Result:

TypeError: AddRow() argument after * must be an iterable, not Frame

How to fix this?

I am thinking if it is possible to define columns first, using Frame, and then putting the columns into the definition of layout?

You have to use [[ ]]

layout = [[

]]

External [ ] means all data, internal [ ] means first row - even if you need only one row.

Working example:

import PySimpleGUI as sg

layout = [[
    sg.Frame('Input data',[[
          sg.Text('Input:'),      
          sg.Input(do_not_clear=False),      
          sg.Button('Read'), sg.Exit(),
          sg.Text('Alternatives:'),
          sg.Listbox(values=('alternatives...', ''), size=(30, 2), key='_LISTBOX_')
    ]])
]]

window = sg.Window('App', layout)
event, values = window.Read()
window.Close()
