This is a guess, and a guess only. What do you want to know it for? If it is for painting something on the screen, maybe (just maybe - I'm guessing here big time), whatever API you are using for painting can be used for getting the dimensions of the drawing device. I don't even know if GTK or Qt have that feature, but you should look into it. If the same api you will use for painting provides that functionality, then it would be kind of irrelevant if it is on the stdlib or not. Of course, this only applies if you want to paint and your api provides that info. -- Luis Zarrabeitia (aka Kyrie) Fac. de Matemática y Computación, UH. http://profesores.matcom.uh.cu/~kyrie -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
