How to determine the active monitor and get its resolution?

Question

I have a small window with buttons for performing some of the functions I need. I made it transparent and without a window, so I can not move it. I have several monitors and really want them to be always there.

Question: How can I determine the active screen and place (recreate) the window in the upper right corner?

On Windows:

from win32api import GetSystemMetrics

print("Width =", GetSystemMetrics(0))
print("Height =", GetSystemMetrics(1))

If you are working with high resolution screen, make sure your python interpreter is HIGHDPIAWARE.
