Align text with checkbox in tkinter

Question

I'm trying to align the text with the checkboxes.

Reading from a list in a text file but only the last checkbox align with the text.

import tkinter as tk

root = tk.Tk()
root.geometry("200x300") 
root.title("Test")

with open("test.txt", "r") as file:
    lines = file.readlines()

checkboxes = []
for line in lines:
    checkboxes.append(tk.IntVar())

for i, line in enumerate(lines):
    c = tk.Checkbutton(root, text=line, variable=checkboxes[i])
    c.pack()

root.mainloop()

test.txt:

Yellow
Blue
Red
White
Black
Orange

Guessing it has something to do with line breaks in the text file. What can I do to fix it?

Answer 1

There are trailing newline ("\n") characters at the end of the items except the last one.

You can use file.read().splitlines() instead to get rid of those newline characters:

with open("test.txt", "r") as file:
    #lines = file.readlines()
    lines = file.read().splitlines()
