pygame, how to update the window size when resizing it

I have a program with a pygame resizable window.

screen = pygame.display.set_mode(size,pygame.RESIZABLE)

Since it is resizable, I want certain elements on the screen to change position and size in accordance to the window size.

I have all of my variables saved in the function setGet. I want the pass in the screen size and have all of the variables be dependent on that screen size passed in.

def setGet(screenSize):

I have a looping function that runs the command

setGet(screen.get_size())

The get_size() apperently doesn't get updated when you change the size of the window.

How can I update the size of the screen when resizing the window?

changed = False
    for event in pygame.event.get():
        if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
            pygame.quit()
            sys.exit(0)
        elif event.type == pygame.VIDEORESIZE:
            scrsize = event.size
            width   = event.w
            hight   = event.h
            screen = pygame.display.set_mode(scrsize,RESIZABLE)
            changed = True

it's almost exactly like this in the comments for pygame.display.init doc page https://www.pygame.org/docs/ref/display.html#comment_pygame_display_update edited only slightly from 2011-01-25T23:10:35 - Dave Burton thanks dave

Well I guess I found my own answer.

what you want to do is have resizing the window be an event.

so what you want is

if event.type == pygame.VIDEORESIZE:
    setGet(event.size)
