Tkinter Treeview: set column widths

I have a treeview with lots of columns and data, some numbers with fixed #commas, some warning symbols, some text that can be cut, some text that shouldn't be cut etc.
In short: I need and want to manually specify widths column by column.
My current approach is this one:
DEF_TreeHeaders = ['id','pos','time', ...]
DEF_TreeAlign = [L, L, R, ...]
DEF_TreeWidth = [0, 5, 10, ...]
for i in [..]:
treeView.column(i, width= DEF_TreeWidth[i], ...)
Seems width is not really absolute and also depends from the overall width of treeView. Trying everything through is time consuming and doesn't lead to the optimal solution.
So my idea is to let the python script run, adjust the columns manually and then print out the current widths, freeze them and store them in a config file.
Good idea? I am sure I am not the only one having had this problem. How have you handled it? How to set absolute width no matter what?

Thanks, part (1) "hard wire width" is done by now and I like my approach for setting width = 100 more: treeView.column("Column 1", minwidth= 100, width= 100) Also very useful is to specify font and row height: style = ttk.Style() style.configure("Treeview", rowheight= 18, font= ('Helvetica', 9))

Thanks, part (1) "hard wire width" is done by now and I like my approach for setting width = 100 more: treeView.column("Column 1", minwidth= 100, width= 100) Also very useful is to specify font and row height: style = ttk.Style() style.configure("Treeview", rowheight= 18, font= ('Helvetica', 9))
