Get window position & size with python

by

Assuming you’re on Windows, try using pywin32‘s win32gui module with its EnumWindows and GetWindowRect functions.

If you’re using Mac OS X, you could try using appscript.

For Linux, you can try one of the many interfaces to X11.

Edit: Example for Windows (not tested):

import win32gui

def callback(hwnd, extra):
    rect = win32gui.GetWindowRect(hwnd)
    x = rect[0]
    y = rect[1]
    w = rect[2] - x
    h = rect[3] - y
    print("Window %s:" % win32gui.GetWindowText(hwnd))
    print("\tLocation: (%d, %d)" % (x, y))
    print("\t    Size: (%d, %d)" % (w, h))

def main():
    win32gui.EnumWindows(callback, None)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()
