Tkinter Grid Not Placing Widgets in Correct Columns

Question

I'm trying to create a ui using a tkinter grid to allow the user to enter certain values on two different frames that I want to be able to switch between.

I have grided all the widgets in different column's however, they are all appearing in the same column.

Here is my code:

class GeneralFrame(ttk.Frame):
    def __init__(self, *args):
        super().__init__(*args, padding=10, width=1200, height=600)
        self.grid_propagate(1)

class EntryBox(GeneralFrame):
    def __init__(self, x_location, y_location, *args):
        super().__init__(*args)
        self.entry_box = ttk.Entry(self)
        self.entry_box.place(x=x_location, y=y_location)
        print("Placed")

    def get_data(self):
        return(self.entry_box.get())

class GliderFrame(GeneralFrame):
    def __init__(self, *args):
        super().__init__(*args)

        self.columnconfigure(0, weight=1)
        self.columnconfigure(1, weight=1)
        self.columnconfigure(2, weight=1)

        ttk.Button(self, text="Add Glider", command=self.add_glider).grid(column=0, row=6)

Tkinter Grid Not Placing Widgets in Correct Columns.

I'm trying to create a ui using a tkinter grid to allow the user to enter certain values on two different frames that I want to be able to switch between

The problem can be solved, By adding self in Label widget in MapFrame() class.

Also to see Button on display by adding self.main_frame.grid(column=1,..) instead of self.main_frame.grid(column=0,..) on line 179.

Snippet on MapFrame() class:

self.turnpoint1_label = ttk.Label(self,text=str("Turpoint 1:"))
self.turnpoint2_label = ttk.Label(self,text=str("Turpoint 2:"))
self.turnpoint3_label = ttk.Label(self,text=str("Turpoint 3:"))
self.turnpoint4_label = ttk.Label(self,text=str("Turpoint 4:"))
self.turnpoint5_label = ttk.Label(self,text=str("Turpoint 5:"))
self.pilot_mass_label = ttk.Label(self,text=str("Pilot Weight:"))

And on line 179:

change this:

self.main_frame.grid(column=0, row=0)

to:

self.main_frame.grid(column=1, row=0)
