A library which is intended to simplify a placement of widgets with `.grid()` and `.pack()` methods:

- avoid manual calculation of indices of columns and rows when you add a widget;

- avoid typing-in some common parameters (like `sticky=tk.EW`) each time you add a widget;

- and more...

Work in progress.

As an example, this code:

```python

import tkinter as tk

from tkinter_layout_helpers.grid_helper import grid_manager

root = tk.Tk()

with grid_manager(root, sticky=tk.EW) as grid:

    grid.new_row() \

        .add(tk.Label(text="0", width=20)) \

        .add(tk.Label(text="1", width=20)) \

        .add(tk.Label(text="2", width=20)) \

        .add(tk.Label(text="3", width=20)) \

        .add(tk.Label(text="4", width=20))

    grid.new_row().add(tk.Entry()).column_span(4).add(tk.Entry()).column_span(1)

    grid.new_row().add(tk.Entry()).column_span(3).add(tk.Entry()).column_span(2)

    grid.new_row().add(tk.Entry()).column_span(2).add(tk.Entry()).column_span(3)

    grid.new_row().add(tk.Entry()).column_span(1).add(tk.Entry()).column_span(4)

    grid.columnconfigure(0, weight=1)

    grid.columnconfigure(1, weight=1)

    grid.columnconfigure(2, weight=1)

    grid.columnconfigure(3, weight=1)

    grid.columnconfigure(4, weight=1)

root.mainloop()

```

Gives the following result:
