Answer 1

Use the following universal widget methods (where w is a widget):

w.winfo_height()
w.winfo_width()

You can also use the following:

w.winfo_reqheight()
w.winfo_reqwidth()

Read about Universal widget methods.

be aware that those two can give drastically different results. _height/_width give the actual sizes. – Haynie

Answer 2

The answers above did not give me the correct result. Here is my solution to get the correct current window size (in pixel).

w._current_width
w._current_height
