Tkinter Resize text to contents

Question

Is it possible to have a Tkinter text widget resize to fit its contents?

ie: if I put 1 line of text it will shrink, but if I put 5 lines it will grow

Answer 1

Edit: short method:

text.pack(side="top", fill="both", expand=True, padx=0, pady=0)

By re-using sc0tt's answer, and Bryan Oakley's answer here Get of number of lines of a Text tkinter widget, we can have this ready-to-use code (posted here for future reference) that also works for proprtional fonts :

import Tkinter as Tk
import tkFont

class Texte(Tk.Text):
    def __init__(self, event=None, x=None, y=None, size=None, txt=None, *args, **kwargs):
        Tk.Text.__init__(self, master=root, *args, **kwargs)
        self.font = tkFont.Font(family="Helvetica Neue LT Com 55 Roman",size=35)
        self.place(x=10,y=10)
        self.insert(Tk.INSERT,' blah ')
        self.config(font=self.font)
        self.update_size(event=None)
        bindtags = list(self.bindtags())
        bindtags.insert(2, "custom")
        self.bindtags(tuple(bindtags))
        self.bind_class("custom", "", self.update_size)

    def update_size(self, event):
        width=0
        lines=0
        for line in self.get("1.0", "end-1c").split("\n"):
            width=max(width,self.font.measure(line))
            lines += 1
        self.config(height=lines)
        self.place(width=width+10)

root = Tk.Tk()
root.geometry("500x500")
Texte()
root.mainloop()
