Hi DT2000

Put your listbox in a Frame and add with padx & pady some border to the listbox. For instance:

import tkinter as tk

class Application(object):
    INTERIOR_BORDER = 10
    
    def __init__(self, mainm_win):
        self.main_win = main_win
        
        self.build()
    
    def build(self):
        main_frame = tk.Frame(self.main_win, relief='sunken', bd=1, bg='white')
        main_frame.pack(fill='both', expand=True, padx=5, pady=5)
        main_frame.columnconfigure(0, weight=1)
        main_frame.rowconfigure(0, weight=1)
        
        list_item_values = ["one", "two", "three", "four", "five"]*5
        
        listbox = tk.Listbox(main_frame, width=42, height=20, bd=0,
            highlightthickness=0)
        listbox.grid(row=0, column=0, padx=self.INTERIOR_BORDER,
            pady=self.INTERIOR_BORDER, sticky='news')
        listbox.insert('end', *list_item_values)

        yscroll1 = tk.Scrollbar(main_frame, command=listbox.yview,
            orient=tk.VERTICAL)
        yscroll1.grid(row=0, column=1, sticky='ns')
        
        listbox.configure(yscrollcommand=yscroll1.set)
    
        listbox.bind('<ButtonRelease-1>', self.get_recipe)
        
    def get_recipe(self, event=None):
        print("Get Recipe")
        
if __name__ == "__main__":
    main_win = tk.Tk()
    main_win.title("Listbox with internal border")
    app = Application(main_win)
    main_win.mainloop()
