A Simple Menu , Stretching the Window Width--Tkinter

[W. eWatson]

I'd like to create a simple Menu bar with one item in it, say, called "My
Menu", and have a few submenu items on it like "Change Data" and "Exit". I
can do that but I'd like the title I put on the enclosing window to be
completely visible. The title is, for example, "Hello, out there. This is a
simple menu". Presently the window shrinks in width the accommodate "My
Menu", and I see "Hello, out th". How do I force the width to accommodate
the whole title?

If you're having trouble with the size of the overall ("root" or "toplevel")
window, this might help:

rootwin = Tk()
# width=500, height=350, upper-left-corner at (50,50) -- revise to suit
rootwin.geometry('500x350+50+50')
rootwin.resizable(False, False)
rootwin.title("Hello, out there")
