I have the following code and I would like to know how to set the
length and width of widgets like Buttons. When the window opens the
button fills up the space even though I have told it not to.
Your button is stretched horizontally because there is nothing to put 
around it in order to fill the space. Try to embed it into a HBox, 
surrounded by empty labels :

import pygtk, gtk
class Greeter:
        def __init__(self):
                self.window = gtk.Window(gtk.WINDOW_TOPLEVEL)
                self.box = gtk.VBox()
                self.window.add(self.box)
                self.label = gtk.Label("Please enter your name in the box 
below:")
                self.namebox = gtk.Entry(12)
                self.button = gtk.Button("Greet Me!")
                self.output = gtk.Label("Your output will appear here.")
		hbox = gtk.HBox()
                self.box.pack_start(self.label, False, False, 2)
                self.box.pack_start(self.namebox, False, False, 2)
                hbox.add(gtk.Label())
                hbox.pack_start(self.button, False, False, 2)
                hbox.add(gtk.Label())
                self.box.pack_start(hbox, False, False, 2)
		self.box.pack_start(self.output, False, False, 2)
		self.window.show_all()
        def main(self):
                gtk.main()
                
a = Greeter()
a.main()
Cheers,
Franck
