How do I get monitor resolution in Python?

Question

What is the simplest way to get monitor resolution (preferably in a tuple)?

Answer 1

Expanding on @user2366975's answer, to get the current screen size in a multi-screen setup using Tkinter (code in Python 2/3):

try:
    # for Python 3
    import tkinter as tk
except ImportError:
    # for Python 2
    import Tkinter as tk


def get_curr_screen_geometry():
    """
    Workaround to get the size of the current screen in a multi-screen setup.

    Returns:
        geometry (str): The standard Tk geometry string.
            [width]x[height]+[left]+[top]
    """
    root = tk.Tk()
    root.update_idletasks()
    root.attributes('-fullscreen', True)
    root.state('iconic')
    geometry = root.winfo_geometry()
    root.destroy()
    return geometry

(Should work cross-platform, tested on Linux only)
