pygame display resize automatically

To resize the display, I would write code like this:

pygame.display.set_mode((1000, 500), pygame.RESIZABLE)

But I don't like the display frame, so I decided to reject it:

pygame.display.set_mode((1000, 500), pygame.NOFRAME, pygame.RESIZABLE)

And the problem is start here, I wanna resize the display automatically as pressing a key, or clicking a button inside the pygame window, but I cannot resize my pygame display, automatically.

I did try some code like this(parts of codes):

resize_y = 0 # Don't resize when the program start
console = pygame.display.set_mode((370, 500+resize_y), pygame.NOFRAME, pygame.RESIZABLE) # Expands by resize_y

def main():
  main = True

    while main:
      for event in pygame.event.get(): #skip quit code 
         if event.type == pygame.KEYDOWN and event.key == pygame.K_d:
             resize_y += 100 #Add resize_y

      console.fill((255, 255, 255)) # Fill background with white
      pygame.display.update()


main() # call main

There was no Error message, didn't work, and of course I expected extenting display when I press D.

How can I fix?

First of all, all flags have to be passed to set_mode with the single the flags argument. In your code, you pass RESIZABLE as the depth argument. Use or to set multiple flags.

Second, you write:

To resize the display, I would write code like this: pygame.display.set_mode((1000, 500), pygame.RESIZABLE)

but you don't actually call pygame.display.set_mode after changing resize_y.

You're code should look more like this:

import pygame

def main():
    resize_y = 0 # Don't resize when the program start
    console = pygame.display.set_mode((370, 500+resize_y), pygame.NOFRAME or pygame.RESIZEABLE) # Expands by resize_y

    running = True

    while running:
        for event in pygame.event.get(): #skip quit code 
            if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
                return
            if event.type == pygame.KEYDOWN and event.key == pygame.K_d:
                resize_y += 100 #Add resize_y
                console = pygame.display.set_mode((370, 500+resize_y), pygame.NOFRAME or pygame.RESIZEABLE)

        console.fill((255, 255, 255)) # Fill background with white
        pygame.display.update()


main() # call main

But note that the RESIZABLE flag is basically useless in combination with the NOFRAME flag. If you want to change the size of the window within your code, you don't need RESIZABLE and can savely remove it. Use it only when the user should be able to resize the window.
