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()

be aware that those two can give drastically different results. _height/_width give the actual sizes. – Bryan Oakley Nov 01 '10 at 01:32
