I'm using the .place method. The following code is a working simplification of resizable columns and the error message which occurs while mouse-moving the columns after a short time.

import tkinter as tk


def column_drag(event):
 #print(event.x)
 for ii, i in enumerate(column_head):
 if ii != 0:
 currCur = root.winfo_pointerx() - root.winfo_rootx()
 if currCur <= column_head[ii].winfo_x() + 10 and currCur >= column_head[ii].winfo_x() - 10:
 if currCur <= column_head[ii].winfo_x() + 10 and currCur >= column_head[ii].winfo_x() - 10:
 column_head[ii].configure(cursor="sb_h_double_arrow")
 column_posx[ii] = currCur
 column_user[ii] = True
 refresh_run_display()
 else: column_head[ii].configure(cursor="arrow")

def resize(event):
 refresh_run_display()


def refresh_run_display():
 ii = len(column_body)-1
 for i in reversed(column_body):
 # Last column
 if ii+1 == len(column_body):
 if column_user[ii] is False:
 column_head[ii].place(x=ii * 150, y=0, height=20, width=root.winfo_width())
 column_head[ii].update()
 column_body[ii].place(x=ii * 150, y=column_head[ii].winfo_height(), height=120, width=root.winfo_width())
 if column_user[ii] is True:
 column_head[ii].place(x=column_posx[ii], y=0, height=20, width=root.winfo_width())
 column_head[ii].update()
 column_body[ii].place(x=column_posx[ii], y=column_head[ii].winfo_height(), height=120, width=root.winfo_width())
 #middle column
 if ii+1 != len(column_body) and ii != 0:
 if column_user[ii] is False:
 column_head[ii].place(x=ii * 150, y=0, height=20, width=column_head[ii+1].winfo_x())
 column_head[ii].update()
 column_body[ii].place(x=ii * 150, y=column_head[ii].winfo_height(), height=120, width=column_head[ii+1].winfo_x())
 if column_user[ii] is True:
 column_head[ii].place(x=column_posx[ii], y=0, height=20, width=column_head[ii+1].winfo_x())
 column_head[ii].update()
 column_body[ii].place(x=column_posx[ii], y=column_head[ii].winfo_height(), height=120, width=column_head[ii+1].winfo_x())
 #first column
 if ii == 0:
 if column_user[ii] is False:
 column_head[ii].place(x=1, y=0, height=20, width=column_head[ii+1].winfo_x())
 column_head[ii].update()
 column_body[ii].place(x=1, y=column_head[ii].winfo_height(), height=120, width=column_head[ii+1].winfo_x())
 if column_user[ii] is True:
 column_head[ii].place(x=1, y=0, height=20, width=column_head[ii+1].winfo_x())
 column_head[ii].update()
 column_body[ii].place(x=1, y=column_head[ii].winfo_height(), height=120, width=column_head[ii+1].winfo_x())
 ii = ii - 1



root = tk.Tk()
gui_w = 650
gui_h = 270
gui_h_old = 0
x = (root.winfo_screenwidth()/2) - (gui_w/2)
y = (root.winfo_screenheight()/2) - (gui_h/2)
root.geometry('%dx%d+%d+%d' % (gui_w, gui_h, x, y))
root.bind('<Configure>', resize)
root.minsize(width=350, height=315)
root.maxsize(width=root.winfo_screenwidth(), height=root.winfo_screenheight())


column_names = ['id', 'name', 'size', 'time']
column_body = [tk.Listbox(borderwidth=0, highlightthickness=0, exportselection=0, activestyle='none') for i in column_names]
column_head = [tk.Button(text=i, borderwidth=0.5, relief="ridge", anchor="w") for i in column_names]
[i.bind("<Motion>", column_drag) for i in column_head]

column_lead = [False for i in column_names]; column_lead[0] = True
column_flip = [False for i in column_names]
column_user = [False for i in column_names]
column_posx = [0 for i in column_names]

root.mainloop()

Error message:

Fatal Python error: Cannot recover from stack overflow.

I'd like to keep the current format if possible. Please help!

I think the column_head[ii].update() is causing this error.

Before, In testing column_head[ii].winfo_height() would return an incorrect value when asked to return its value in the next line:
column_head[ii].place(x=ii * 150, y=0, height=20, width=root.winfo_width())

column_head[ii].update() solved this but apparently now it is not necessary and commenting out all column_head[ii].update() seems to have worked. It was the line called out in the debug
