I changed your example a bit, and so we can see that actually the canvas
is resized:
from Tkinter import *
root = Tk()
root.geometry('500x500')
c=Canvas(root, bg="red", width=400, height=400, relief='solid', bd=4)
c.pack()
d=Label(c, text="Hello", relief='sunken', bd=2)
d.pack()
c.update_idletasks()
print c.winfo_height(), c.winfo_width()
root.mainloop()
You can avoid this by ading a c.pack_propagate(0) before packing the
label. However I agree, it's better to use create_window() to avoid
pitfalls like this.
Regards
Michael
