Hello, i am having a little problem using the option menu in python. Its not a major problem but its just bothering me and i also want to know how to fix it. In my assignment i had to make a one rep max calculator using values inputted by the user(weight lifted and num of reps) i also have a option menu to display there rep weights in pounds and kilograms(2 options). The problem is that my default option is set to pounds so the windows(mainframe)of mine is normal. but when i change from pounds to kilograms the width of my window changes(i'm assuming it because kilograms is a larger word than pounds. So is there a way where the option selected wont make a differce to the window.my code is below:

from Tkinter import*

#Depending on the option chosen from option menu differet calculations are made for user input
#@param -none
#@return -none
def calculateButtonclick():
    if measurementVar.get() == "Pounds":
        poundsCalc()
    if measurementVar.get() == "Kilograms":
        kilogramsCalc()
        
#Takes user input and display one-rep-max and 45% to 95% weights in pounds unit. (Rounds answer to 0 place)
#@param -none
#@return -none
def poundsCalc():
#get weight lifted and number of reps from user   
    weightLift = weightLiftVar.get()
    numOfReps = numOfRepsVar.get()
#basic calculation to get one-rep-max weight in pounds
    highRepMax = weightLift / (1.0278 - (0.0278 * numOfReps))
    oneRepMaxVar.set(round(highRepMax ,0))
#weights for 45% to 95% in pounds    
    fortyfiveRepWeight = highRepMax  * 0.45
    fortyfiveVar.set(round(fortyfiveRepWeight, 0))
    fiftyRepWeight = highRepMax  * 0.50
    fiftyVar.set(round(fiftyRepWeight,0))
    fiftyfiveRepWeight = highRepMax * 0.55
    fiftyfiveVar.set(round(fiftyfiveRepWeight,0))
    sixtyRepWeight =highRepMax * 0.60
    sixtyVar.set(round(sixtyRepWeight,0))
    sixtyfiveRepWeight = highRepMax  * 0.65
    sixtyfiveVar.set(round(sixtyfiveRepWeight,0))
    seventyRepWeight =highRepMax  * 0.70
    seventyVar.set(round(seventyRepWeight, 0))
    seventyfiveRepWeight = highRepMax  * 0.75
    seventyfiveVar.set(round(seventyfiveRepWeight,0))
    eightyRepWeight = highRepMax  * 0.80
    eightyVar.set(round(eightyRepWeight,0))
    eightyfiveRepWeight = highRepMax  * 0.85
    eightyfiveVar.set(round(eightyfiveRepWeight,0))
    ninetyRepWeight = highRepMax  * 0.90
    ninetyVar.set(round(ninetyRepWeight,0))
    ninetyfiveRepWeight = highRepMax  * 0.95
    ninetyfiveVar.set(round(ninetyfiveRepWeight,0))

right after you make your option menu, add this line

measurementOption.config(width=len("kilograms"))

Thanks man it worked
