Gtk.ScrolledWindow without horizontal scroll bar

Using Python and Gtk3, I have created a Gtk.TreeView and put it inside a Gtk.ScrolledWindow. I don't like horizontal scroll bars, so I removed it using the Gtk.PolicyType.NEVER, but now I can't resize the window in that direction.

So the question is: how can I get ride of the horizontal scroll bar and at the same time to be able to resize the window horizontally?

Any help is appreciated!

Obs: this is how I created the ScrolledWindow:

    self.scrolledwindow = Gtk.ScrolledWindow()
    self.scrolledwindow.set_policy(Gtk.PolicyType.NEVER,
                                   Gtk.PolicyType.AUTOMATIC)
    self.add(self.scrolledwindow)

SOLUTION:

The problem was that the window couldn't be more narrow than the wider row in the Gtk.TreeView, and I also wanted my window without horizontal scroll bars. The final code that solves my problem is this:

self.scrolledwindow = Gtk.ScrolledWindow()
self.scrolledwindow.set_policy(Gtk.PolicyType.NEVER,
                               Gtk.PolicyType.AUTOMATIC)

...

renderer_text = Gtk.CellRendererText(weight=600)
renderer_text.set_fixed_size(200, -1)
column_text = Gtk.TreeViewColumn('Name', renderer_text, text=1)

In that way, the Gtk.CellRendererText has a minimum size and can be re-sized once the window is opened.
