Actually, I just came up with another hack using PyGame as well like
so:

screen = pygame.display.set_mode((0,0))
WIDTH, HEIGHT = screen.get_size()

If you pass zero values into the resolution, it will pop to the
current screen resolution.  And since I'm making a PyGame app, this
actually works out ok.  However, querying the current_w & current_h
attrs from the Info object is a lot cleaner (I was unaware of that,
thanks!)

But I'd sure like to know if there is built-in way.
