Modifying Entry size

[Fouff]

Hello.

I'm trying to modify manually the size of a tkinter Entry .
Especialy the width (in pixel for my calc), not in character as the
width property of the widget.

Thanks for help.

That's not directly supported, but you can try this:
Create a Frame, and pack or grid it in the place where you're currently
putting the Entry. Give the frame explicit width= and height= options,
and call .pack_propagate(0) on it so that it ignores the size of its
children. Now create your Entry inside that frame, and pack it with the
fill and expand options turned on.
