A method 'screen' from Python X Library looks promising:
http://python-xlib.sourceforge.net/doc/html/python-xlib_16.html#SEC15

More, or less if I understand right you just need to request from
server dimensions of the screen, over x protocol of course. So it will
be something associated with Xlib.
