use winfo_screenheight() and winfo_screenmmheight() to determine the
pixel size, and use that to calculate "real-life" values. e.g.
pixel_size = w.winfo_screenmmheight() / w.winfo_screenheight()
...
x = x * pixel_size
print x, "mm"
print x/10.0, "cm"
print x/25.4, "inches"
print 72*x/25.4, "points"
(untested)
