python - tkinter root window isn't quite the right size -


i creating tkinter canvas, , need check when user changes size of window. problem is, window apparently isn't size it's supposed be. have following:

def print_size(self):     print self.root.winfo_width()  def init_simulation(self, size=300):     self.root = tk()     canvas = canvas(self.root, width=size, height=size)     self.print_size()     self.root.after(1000, self.print_size)

when running get:

1

and second later: 

306

ignoring fact tkinter add 6 pixels, why size first 1 , 306? setting wrong?

when instantiate root widget tk(), tkinter starts process in separate thread create window - doesn't happen in main loop.

the reason 1 size root window doesn't exist yet when call self.print_size first time, gives default value of 1. next time call second later, window has finished spawning, gives the actual size. it's race condition - main event loop gets print self.root.winfo_width() before self.root done being created.

if you'd change behavior, add line right after self.root = tk():

self.root.wait_visibility(self.root)

that command forces main event loop pause until given widget (in case root window) has been spawned , visible.

also, note you've set size of canvas 300 pixels, naturally container window have width.

node.js - How do I prevent MongoDB replica set from querying the primary? -

read-operations-only: is there way have mongodb replica set, make mongodb instance on box connected to, mongodb gets queried? i have 3 ec2 instances behind aws load balancer. on each ec2 instance runs mongodb, part of replica set. i have express endpoints on nodejs , connect replica set follows mongodb.mongoclient.connect('mongodb://1.1.1.1,2.2.2.2,3.3.3.3.', function (err, db) { if (err) { complete('{}'); } else { i distribute load of queries evenly across 3 instances of mongodb replica set instead of default having queries routed ec2 instance primary mongodb defined, because destroys point of load balancer (which balance load of queries across 3 instances evenly). my understanding when connecting mongodb replica set, primary instance selected unless primary instance down, , therefore purpose of every secondary instance serve backup. in example people call hot,cold,cold. because there 2...
