Allowing resizing window pyGame

I am trying to allow resizing for this app, I put the RESIZABLE flag, but when I try to resize, it messes up! Try my code.

It is a grid program, when the window resizes I want the grid to also resize/shrink. 

import pygame,math
from pygame.locals import *
# Define some colors
black    = (   0,   0,   0)
white    = ( 255, 255, 255)
green    = (   0, 255,   0)
red      = ( 255,   0,   0)

# This sets the width and height of each grid location
width=50
height=20
size=[500,500]
# This sets the margin between each cell
margin=1


# Initialize pygame
pygame.init()

# Set the height and width of the screen

screen=pygame.display.set_mode(size,RESIZABLE)

# Set title of screen
pygame.display.set_caption("My Game")

#Loop until the user clicks the close button.
done=False

# Used to manage how fast the screen updates
clock=pygame.time.Clock()

# -------- Main Program Loop -----------
while done==False:
    for event in pygame.event.get(): # User did something
        if event.type == pygame.QUIT: # If user clicked close
            done=True # Flag that we are done so we exit this loop
        if event.type == pygame.MOUSEBUTTONDOWN:
            height+=10

    # Set the screen background
    screen.fill(black)

    # Draw the grid
    for row in range(int(math.ceil(size[1]/height))+1):
        for column in range(int(math.ceil(size[0]/width))+1):
            color = white
            pygame.draw.rect(screen,color,[(margin+width)*column+margin,(margin+height)*row+margin,width,height])

    # Limit to 20 frames per second
    clock.tick(20)

    # Go ahead and update the screen with what we've drawn.
    pygame.display.flip()
# Be IDLE friendly. If you forget this line, the program will 'hang'
# on exit.
pygame.quit ()

Please tell me whats wrong, thanks.

A simple way to do which I found was the following code snippet

# Imports
from vars import *
from pygame.locals import *

# Main init
pygame.init()

# Basic vars
run = True
s_width = 1000
s_height = 600

# Making display screen. Don't forget the last tag!
screen = pygame.display.set_mode((s_width, s_height), RESIZABLE)

# Main loop
while run:
    # event detection
    for event in pygame.event.get():
        if event.type == QUIT:
            run = False
        # The part which matters for our purposes
        if event.type == WINDOWRESIZED:
            s_width, s_height = screen.get_width(), screen.get_height()
        if event.type == KEYDOWN:
            if event.key == K_ESCAPE:
                run = False
    # Test line to see if the window resizing works properly
    pygame.draw.line(screen, (255, 255, 255), (int(0.3*s_width), int(0.25*s_height)), (int(0.8*s_width), int(0.25*s_height)))
    # Final flip
    pygame.display.flip()

# Quit
pygame.quit()

What this does is allows the pygame window to be resized. But since you often have the placing and sizes of a lot of elements/sprites depending on the s_width and s_height, it also detects when the window size is changed and adjusts the dimensions accordingly.

First, You don't detect the new window size before redrawing the screen.

Add the get_size() method at line 45 and it works:

#--------------------------------------------------------------
# Draw the grid
size = pygame.display.get_surface().get_size() // size update
for row in range(int(math.ceil(size[1]/height))+1):
#---------------------------------------------------------

Then you work with a fixed cell size (50, 20) and fill as many cells as possible. If You want to GROW/SHRINK the cells when resizing the window, You will have to define the NUMBER of cells per line/row, then calculate the cell size, then draw them.
