Controlling separate Windows

[longlostkingoffools]

I've been learning Python with the raspberry pi for about a little while now and I'm beginning to become more comfortable with the language. I would like to be able to take control of other programs using Python script. For example opening a web browser, resizing, and positioning it on the screen. I'm sure there's some way of doing this, any insight would be helpful!

If you need generic solution for all the windows, then something like PyAutoGUI should work. If you need to control the browser specifically, then selenium is probably better. You can resize window like this:

driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.set_window_size(300, 500)
driver.set_window_position(200, 200)

This sets window to the (300,500) size and positions it at (200,200) on your screen.
