How do I set the width of an Tkinter Entry widget in pixels?

Question

I noticed that the width argument for the Tkinter entry widget is in characters, not pixels.

Is it possible to adjust the width in pixels?

Answer 1

You cannot specify the worth in pixels using the '-width' option, but there are ways to accomplish the same thing. For example, you could pack an entry in a frame that has mo border, turn off geometry propagation, then set the width of the frame in pixels.
