Would the following satisfy your immediate needs?

from PyQt4.QtGui import *
import PyQt4.Qt as Qt
import sys

class Test(QMainWindow):
  def __init__ (self, parent = None):
    super(Test, self).__init__(parent)
    self.resize(600, 300) # Added statement
    self.frame = QFrame()
    self.setCentralWidget(self.frame)
    grid = QGridLayout()
    grid.addWidget(QLabel("Desc:"), 0, 0)
    self.description = QTextEdit()    
    currentSize = self.description.size()
#    print currentSize
#    currentSize.scale(50,25, Qt.IgnoreAspectRatio)
    self.description.resize(currentSize)
    grid.addWidget(self.description, 0, 1)
    self.frame.setLayout(grid)
if __name__ == '__main__':
  app = QApplication(sys.argv)
  Gui = Test()
  Gui.show()
  app.exec_()
