You can look into the 'curses' module and do something like:

	screen = curses.initscreen()
	maxheight, maxwith = screen.getmaxyx()

In my experience curses can be a bit tricky to work with but the online 
tutorials have some nice examples that help you avoid some of the 
pitfalls (like messing up your terminal)
