Create a scroll-able main window with multiple text boxes in tkinter

Question

I want to create a SCROLL-ABLE main window which has 10 text boxes. As these text boxes cannot fit in one window, I want to add scrollbar vertically and horizontally to view the text boxes that cannot fit on the main screen.

Please see the image below for my output. I want to add scrollbar x and y axis to view boxes.

I used PAGE to develop the tkinter code. Here is my code for the above output:

import sys

try:
    from Tkinter import *
except ImportError:
    from tkinter import *

try:
    import ttk
    py3 = False
except ImportError:
    import tkinter.ttk as ttk
    py3 = True


def vp_start_gui():
    '''Starting point when module is the main routine.'''
    global val, w, root
    root = Tk()
    top = New_Toplevel (root)
    root.mainloop()

w = None
def create_New_Toplevel(root, *args, **kwargs):
    '''Starting point when module is imported by another program.'''
    global w, w_win, rt
    rt = root
    w = Toplevel (root)
    top = New_Toplevel (w)
    return (w, top)

def destroy_New_Toplevel():
    global w
    w.destroy()
    w = None


class New_Toplevel:
    def __init__(self, top=None):
        '''This class configures and populates the toplevel window.
           top is the toplevel containing window.'''
        _bgcolor = '#d9d9d9'  # X11 color: 'gray85'
        _fgcolor = '#000000'  # X11 color: 'black'

There aren't any questions which are _exact_ duplicates of your question, but your answer is there nonetheless. — abarnert, Jun 25 '18 at 20:19
In particular, the accepted answer to the first duplicate question explains why you need a scrollable widget to put your `Text` boxes in, and shows one way to do that (by using a `Canvas` with another `Frame` inside it), which you should be able to adapt to your code. — abarnert, Jun 25 '18 at 20:21
