Screen rotation in windows with python

I am trying to write a python script to rotate screen in Windows.
I have clues of doing it with Win32api.
What are the other possibilities or commands to achieve so(Win32api included).

you can simply use rotate-screen library to do screen rotations. (Only support for Windows right now)

import rotatescreen
screen = rotatescreen.get_primary_display()
screen.rotate_to(90) # rotate to 90 degrees

you can use below code for screen rotation in any angle, I changed the code given by Mxl above.

import win32api as win32
import win32con
import sys
import re
x = 0
args=sys.argv[1].lower()
rotation_val=0
m = re.search("(?<=^-rotate=)\S+", args)    # Use non-white character wildcard instead of d decimal
if (m != None):
    print m.group(0)
    if ((m.group(0) == "180")):
        rotation_val=win32con.DMDO_180
    elif((m.group(0) == "90")):
        rotation_val=win32con.DMDO_270
    elif ((m.group(0) == "270")):   
        rotation_val=win32con.DMDO_90
    else:
        rotation_val=win32con.DMDO_DEFAULT

device = win32.EnumDisplayDevices(None,x)
dm = win32.EnumDisplaySettings(device.DeviceName,win32con.ENUM_CURRENT_SETTINGS)
if((dm.DisplayOrientation + rotation_val)%2==1):
    dm.PelsWidth, dm.PelsHeight = dm.PelsHeight, dm.PelsWidth   
dm.DisplayOrientation = rotation_val

win32.ChangeDisplaySettingsEx(device.DeviceName,dm)

for running this script you will need to give the following command:-

filename.py -rotate=180
filename.py -rotate=0
filename.py -rotate=90
filename.py -rotate=270

If you have the rotate shortcut active in windows (CTRL+ALT+ARROW KEY) you can use pyautogui.hotkey function.

This is (a sligtly modified version of) the code that worked for me from the answer given above prvided by lbenini. Possible screen rotation values are win32con.DMDO_DEFAULT (0°), win32con.DMDO_90, win32con.DMDO_180 and win32con.DMDO_270 (one can obtain a list by typing help(win32con))

import win32api as win32
import win32con

def printAllScreen():
    i = 0
    while True:
        try:
            device = win32.EnumDisplayDevices(None,i);
            print("[%d] %s (%s)"%(i,device.DeviceString,device.DeviceName));
            i = i+1;
        except:
            break;
    return i

screen_count=printAllScreen()
x = int(input("\nEnter a display number [0-%d]: "%screen_count))


device = win32.EnumDisplayDevices(None,x);
print("Rotate device %s (%s)"%(device.DeviceString,device.DeviceName));

dm = win32.EnumDisplaySettings(device.DeviceName,win32con.ENUM_CURRENT_SETTINGS)
dm.DisplayOrientation = win32con.DMDO_180
dm.PelsWidth, dm.PelsHeight = dm.PelsHeight, dm.PelsWidth
dm.Fields = dm.Fields & win32con.DM_DISPLAYORIENTATION
win32.ChangeDisplaySettingsEx(device.DeviceName,dm)
