I used to play around with SDL in my C++ days. PyGame is based on SDL. I know in C++ you can use something like ...
[php]SDL_Surface *screen;
screen = SDL_SetVideoMode(800, 600, 32, SDL_HWSURFACE | SDL_RESIZABLE);
[/php]This should have carried over to PyGame. You might use something like this ...
[php]
import pygame
pygame.init()
# change to whatever your full screen size might be
size = width, height = 800, 600
screen = pygame.display.set_mode(size)
[/php]
[php]SDL_Surface *screen;
screen = SDL_SetVideoMode(800, 600, 32, SDL_HWSURFACE | SDL_RESIZABLE);
[/php]This should have carried over to PyGame. You might use something like this ...
[php]
import pygame
pygame.init()
# change to whatever your full screen size might be
size = width, height = 800, 600
screen = pygame.display.set_mode(size)
[/php]

in pygame it's:
import pygame
from pygame.locals import * #need this for 'FULLSCREEN' value
pygame.init()
WIDTH=800
HEIGHT=600
pygame.display.set_mode((WIDTH,HEIGHT),FULLSCREEN)
also - make sure you include code to quit the app or you won't get out. (ev.type==QUIT doesnt work in fullscreen, and locked up my mac, win or linux may be different)
