How do I get monitor resolution in Python?

Question

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

Answer 1

On Linux we can use subprocess module

import subprocess
cmd = ['xrandr']
cmd2 = ['grep', '*']
p = subprocess.Popen(cmd, stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
p2 = subprocess.Popen(cmd2, stdin=p.stdout, stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
p.stdout.close()

resolution_string, junk = p2.communicate()
resolution = resolution_string.split()[0]
resolution = resolution.decode("utf-8") 
width = int(resolution.split("x")[0].strip())
heigth = int(resolution.split("x")[1].strip())
