targeting the CLI

[yapp]

So I'm newer to python and could not find this answer anywhere (or the answer was too technical for me to recognize it as an answer). I want to know if it is possible to target (from within my script) the command line interface (CLI) so that when I run my python script from the CLI, the CLI will automatically go to full screen while running the program and then back to its previous size when the program completes? If someone could point me in the right direction I would appreciate it!

Thanks!
