How can I get the width of a string in Python?

[heiner55]

You can try this with caution:

#!/usr/bin/python3
import wx
app = wx.App()

def width_and_height_calculator_in_pixel(txt, fontname, fontsize):
    dc   = wx.ScreenDC()
   #dc.SetFont(...) # todo: https://wxpython.org/Phoenix/docs/html/wx.DC.html#wx.DC.SetFont
    size = dc.GetTextExtent(txt)
    return size

text_size = width_and_height_calculator_in_pixel("Hello World", "Calibri", 11)
print(text_size)

Output:
(75, 17)
