targeting the CLI
#1
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!

Changing the user's console is considered a "Bad thing". If you want to control the user experience you should create your own windows that you can control. In other words you should write a GUI (Graphical User Interface) application. If your program does something useful I may use it standalone, or I may include it in a shell script or I may pipe it from the command line. I do not want you messing with my console which is set up the way I like
