New submission from Terry J. Reedy:

Turtledemo (python -m turtledemo) has a text pane for code and a canvas pane 
for the actual demo. The code pane is fixed at about 60% of the width needed to 
display full-width code lines. If the window is expanded horizontally, all the 
expansion goes to the canvas pane, where it is mostly not needed or used. 
Almost all the examples are a fixed size on the canvas, independent of the size 
of the window on the canvas. 

Having the text pane too narrow makes it harder to read and copy the code than 
it would be if entire code lines were visible. The default width of the overall 
window is about 1250 pixels on my big monitor. Many people have more pixels 
than that. Even on smaller screen, people might like to temporarily allocate 
more space to the text. So I think the best solution, if possible with tkinter, 
would be a movable divider.
