myPopupWindow.w m_resizable(0, 0)

It may or may not make resize controls disappear depending on your
platform and/or window manager. But the resizing will be impossible in any
case.

How to put this popup window to show in the middle of my text editor?

A bit trickier. For example (untested):

myPopupWindow.a fter_idle(cente rPopupWindow)

with:

def centerPopupWind ow():
x, y = editorWindow.wi nfo_rootx(), editorWindow.wi nfo_rooty()
w, h = editorWindow.wi nfo_width(), editorWindow.wi nfo_height()
ww, hh = myPopupWindow.w info_width(), myPopupWindow.w info_height()
myPopupWindow.g eometry('%sx%s+ %s+%s', ww, hh, x + w/2 - ww/2, y + h/2-
hh/2)

The after_idle trick is needed since the dimensions for the popup window
will only be known when the window is actually displayed. In theory,
myPopupWindow.u pdate_idletasks () should update the display so that the
window dimensions are known, but there are cases where it doesn't work. So
the after_idle trick is surer.
