Window widths are too wide when on a dual screen system

[noisygecko]

When using a dual screen, side-by-side system the default way of calculating window sizes generates windows that are too wide. It would be better to restrict the aspect ration of the windows to some more reasonable one rather than purely going by the system screen height and width.

Here is what I added to restrict the window to no wider than 16/9 and no narrower than 4/3:

    if float(root_width)/root_height > 16.0/9.0:
        root_width = int(root_height*16.0/9.0)
    if float(root_width)/root_height < 4.0/3.0:
        root_height = int(root_width*3.0/4.0)

Although I am not sure about the height restriction since I haven't tried it on a really tall aspect ratio. That might not be a big deal to have it be too tall. But when it is too wide, the "Ok" button gets thrown way over to the right and makes it look very odd.

Thanks for the report. Can you tell me the version you are using?

It doesn't have a version number or date. It does have this line:

I am actually not sure where the latest version is. Are we supposed to get
it from PyPI? I think I got this as a zip from a website.

I just installed it using 'pip' and get the same behavior. For it, easygui.eg_version is 0.97.4
