Why is `None` returned instead of tkinter.Entry object?

Question

I\'m new to python, poking around and I noticed this:

from tkinter import *
def test1():
    root = Tk()
    txtTest1 = Entry(root).place(x=10, y=10)
    pri         


        

Answer 1

because Entry.place() returns None

in a more C-like language you could do:

(txtTest1 = Entry(root)).place(x=10, y=10)

and txtText1 would be the Entry object, but that syntax is illegal in Python.
