[FIXED] Python tkinter - what is the difference between a widgets padx and pack-methods ipadx

Issue

I try to understand the difference between padx of a widget and ipadx of the pack method for that widget.

from tkinter import *

window = Tk()

Button(window, text="aaaaaa", padx=50).pack()
Button(window, text="aaaaaa").pack(ipadx=50)

window.mainloop()

On my system the second button is two pixels wider. Shouldn't both buttons have the same width?

Initially I thought, the difference to be related to the border of the buttons but regardless of border_width, the difference of two pixels remains.

I understand the difference between ipadx and padx within pack() but expected ipadx of pack to be equivalent to padx of the widget.

Solution

Since the default value of padx option is 1 for a Button widget, that is why the second button is 2 pixels wider than the first button.
