Expand Text widget to fill the entire parent Frame in Tkinter

Question

I got this Text widget, and I\'d like for it to expand and fill its entire parent, using the Grid geometry manager.

According to the examples I\'ve seen

Answer 1

from tkinter import *
root = Tk()

input_text_area = Text(root)
input_text_area.grid(row=0, column=0, columnspan=4, sticky=N+S+W+E)
input_text_area.configure(background='#4D4D4D')
root.grid_columnconfigure(0, weight=1)
root.grid_rowconfigure(0, weight=1)

root.mainloop()

not sure if this is what you want. but this fills the entire screen.
