Python console Fullscreen? Maybe using os.system?

I'm trying to figure out how to get my program to open in a fullscreen console window.

Is there any command that you can type within the command prompt to toggle fullscreen?

If so I'd imagine the code going something like:

from os import system

system("toggle.fullscreen")

{CODE HERE}

I understand mode con can be used, but that doesn't actually toggle it being maximized, which would be much more useful for me, thanks!

You can use keyboard.press. Install with pip3 install keyboard if it is not installed.

Code:

import keyboard
keyboard.press('f11')

I found this awhile back on a different post and it works perfectly for console window maximization:

import win32gui, win32con

hwnd = win32gui.GetForegroundWindow()
win32gui.ShowWindow(hwnd, win32con.SW_MAXIMIZE)
