That's what I would build too.

Probably you want to proxy various methods to the enclosed widgets.  
Possibly you want to do that with parameters in `__init__` also.

Example:

     class FrameScrolledListbox(ttk.Frame):
         def __init__(self, *frame_args, *, height=None, jump=None, **frame_kw):
             super().__init__(*frame_args, **frame_kw)
             self.Listbox = tk.Listbox(self, height=height)
             self.Scrollbar = ttk.Scrollbar(self, jump=jump)
             ........

         def config(self, *a, **kw):
             return self.Listbox.config(*a, **kw)

and so forth for the various listbox methods you want to proxy to the 
listbox itself. You could pass scroll specific methods to the scrollbar 
as well.
