This doesn't work on my system:

>>> from tkinter import ttk
>>> nb = ttk.Notebook()
>>> label = ttk.Label(nb)
>>> nb.add(label, sticky=list('nswe'))
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<python-input-3>", line 1, in <module>
    nb.add(label, sticky=list('nswe'))
    ~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  File "/usr/lib/python3.13/tkinter/ttk.py", line 824, in add
    self.tk.call(self._w, "add", child, *(_format_optdict(kw)))
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
_tkinter.TclError: Bad -sticky specification n s w e

Maybe this has to do with Tk version? What's yours?

>>> import tkinter
>>> tkinter.TkVersion
8.6

You are right. Do not work. I made a mistake when testing it. Seems that grid is the only one.

padding: _Padding = ...,
text: str = ...,
# `image` is a sequence of an image name, followed by zero or more
