Control over the screen - SBachar - Apr-09-2018

I would like to (start to try) to create a simple screensaver with Python (on Linux).
I want initially something simple, say, to display a text (say "HELLO") in the middle of the screen.
So my question is: How to I take control over the screen in Python? How do I simply display some text on black background (not maximized window, but all black screen with simple text)?
