I need to centralize my labels (dinamically) but I want to control its position in y axis, so I've tried pack. The problem is: .pack() doesn't allow me to add a vertical space >only< above the label, just bellow AND above.

I've tried this code:

l1 = Label(janela,text="Testando1",bg='green')
l1.pack(ipady=20)

l2 = Label(janela,text="Testando2")
l2.pack()

And get this:

Look that ipady adds some spaces above and bellow the label, and I need to add spaces only above.

I've tried to read the documentation but I didn't find anything useful for this problem.

I want something like that:

It doesn't count because I jerry-rigged with .place() to get this result.

I want them exactly in the center, but I want to control vertical space. I need just to add a vertical space above the label, not bellow – Victor Coutinho May 25 '21 at 15:30
Oh, I misinterpreted what you were looking for, `pady = (40,0)` will add 40 above and 0 below. – tgikal May 25 '21 at 15:32
Yes, is this! Would you post your answer? – Victor Coutinho May 25 '21 at 15:35
Yes, thanks! I'm gonna close this question – Victor Coutinho May 25 '21 at 15:37
Seemed more appropriate to just mark it duplicate, I just don't like to leave people hanging. – tgikal May 25 '21 at 15:39
set `pady = (40, 0)` in method `pack` doesn't get output as request. Maybe option `anchor='s'` when label initialize and `ipady = 10` in method `pack` for it. – Jason Yang May 25 '21 at 15:59
