Although your code produces the value of Ww outside the function, I do not see
how I can use the value of Ww unless I close the program.
import tkinter as tk
Ww = None # What does this do? Why not Integer?
WwZ = None
def on_configure(*args):
global Ww
global WwZ
Ww = root.winfo_width()
print("9 Ww Inside =<"+str(Ww)+">") # works
WwZ = Ww * 2
print("11 WwZ Inside =<"+str(WwZ)+">") # works
return(Ww) #Can I use this?
root = tk.Tk()
root.bind('<Configure>',on_configure)
print("15 Ww Inside1 = <"+str(Ww)+">")
#Ww2 = int(Ww) * 2 # fails
print("17 WwZ Inside2 = <"+str(WwZ)+">")
root.mainloop()
Ww2 = int(Ww) * 2 #Works but only after the program stops
print("21 Ww Outside2 = <"+str(WwZ)+">")
# Can I have concentric loops?

There is nothing different, see the code below.
print() is a function like any other.
In this case it is called after you close the window, ie after mainloop() exits.
But any other function called inside
mainloop - eg any other event handler can also access it.
For example, if you added a button:
def printW(): print("Button Ww = ", Ww)
bw = tk.Button(root, text="Print Width", command=printW)
bw.pack()
You would be able to print the value on demand.
