Assuming you mean in Tkinter(given yor other posts) it depends...
You can specify the size when you create it, and if you use the
placer layout manager it should keep that size.

But if you use grid or packer managers then the size may change
if the window is resized, depending on the options.

However you should be able to read the size of the buttons back
from the widget at runtime using dictionary syntax:

def max(a,b): return (a>b) and a or b

for button in mybuttons:
    max_size = max(max_size, button['width'])

Or something very similar...
