How do I get monitor resolution in Python?

Question

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

Answer 1

If you are working on Windows OS, you can use OS module to get it:

import os
cmd = 'wmic desktopmonitor get screenheight, screenwidth'
size_tuple = tuple(map(int,os.popen(cmd).read().split()[-2::]))

It will return a tuple (Y,X) where Y is the vertical size and X is the horizontal size. This code works on Python 2 and Python 3
