I doubt it crashes. It's more likely that raises an exception
complaining that 'None' doesn't have a 'bind' attribute.
That's because the .grid method returns None. (So the .pack method.)
Try this:
butCol.ks2 = Entry(butCol, width=20, textvariable=KS2)
butCol.ks2.grid(column=0, row=19, sticky=(N, W))
The same comment applies in a number of other places.
