Tkinter Frame Size

[Tuvas]

I'm tyring to set the size of the window that is opened when you open a
Tkinter window, without much sucess. I have tried changing the heigth
and width atributes, but it doesn't do anything. I tried using the
grid_propagate command that I saw to use, but made the window even
smaller... What can I do? Thanks!

Here is a very simple way:

from Tkinter import *
app = Tk()
app.geometry("%dx%d%+d%+d" % (600, 400, 0, 0))
f = Frame(app)
f.pack()
app.mainloop()

Okay. I have alot of items that are put on the basic frame already,
using a grid method. Will this change anything?

It shouldn't. For example

from Tkinter import *
app = Tk()
app.geometry("%dx%d%+d%+d" % (600, 400, 0, 0))
f = Frame(app)
f.pack()
L1 = Label(f, text="Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice")
L1.grid(row=0, column=0, columnspan=2)
L2 = Label(f, text="Barney")
L2.grid(row=1, column=0)
L3 = Label(f, text="Betty")
L3.grid(row=1, column=1)
app.mainloop()

Just grid everything in the frame then pack the frame in the Tk(). However do
not mix grid and pack in the same frame or it will lock up your app. E.g.
*dont* do this:

L1 = Label(f, text="Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice")
L1.grid(row=0, column=0, columnspan=2)
L2 = Label(f, text="Barney")
L2.pack()
