You’ll need to set anchor and justify if you want the text aligned left (defaults to center).
Align
lbl_my_label = Label(root, text = "My text", anchor="nw", justify="left")anchor – Values n, ne, e, se, s, sw, w, nw, or center. For example, nw means display the information such that its top-left corner is at the top-left corner of the widget.
justify – When there are multiple lines of text displayed, one of left, center, or right.
