3import subprocess
4import shlex
5
6id_cmd='xdotool getactivewindow'
7resize_cmd='xdotool windowsize --usehints {id} 100 30'
8
9proc=subprocess.Popen(shlex.split(id_cmd),stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
10windowid,err=proc.communicate()
11proc=subprocess.Popen(shlex.split(resize_cmd.format(id=windowid)))
12proc.communicate()
