Resizing terminal window with python on linux

Question

I have been unable to find a way to resize the terminal running linux with python 3.x I am on "Raspbian GNU/Linux 9 (stretch)"

I have only found ways to escape the terminal using character combinations, which does not work on some terminals.

Answer 1

You can try this line of code. It worked for me.

row = 20
col = 40
print('\x1b[8;{0};{1}t'.format(row, col), end='', flush=True)

Answer 2

You can try set_geometry() from wmctrl.py.

Otherwise you can rely on the wmctrl command directly.
