Getting window size after the user has altered it in wxPython

I'm trying to find a way to get the horizontal length of a window, just in case the user has altered it, because if I do not do this, the text that I need to show sometimes cuts off. I am using python 3.6.1 on macOS, with the wx (wxPython) library.

Use GetSize() for the widget that you are interested in.
It returns (Width,Height).
Run this code and resize the window.

import wx

def size_change(event):
    width,height = event.GetSize()
    print ("Width =",width,"Height =",height)

app = wx.App()
frame = wx.Frame(None, -1, 'Get Size Test')
frame.SetSize(500,250)
frame.Bind(wx.EVT_SIZE, size_change)
frame.Show()

print ("Original Size =",frame.GetSize())

app.MainLoop()

Assuming that you mean width, with horizontal length you can use:

widget.size

for a widget's size and; widget.Size[0] for width and widget.Size[1] for height specifically.

Also based on this you can limit set a minimum size for the widget as well so that the user can't resize it less than that:

widget.SetMinSize(wx.Size(320,240))

Here's an example code:

import wx

root = wx.App()
frame = wx.Frame(None, -1, 'win.py')
frame.SetDimensions(0,0,320,480)
frame.SetMinSize(wx.Size(320,240))
frame.Show()

print(frame.Size[0])
root.MainLoop()
