Creating a transparent GUI overlay on top of a Full screen game in python

I am looking to make a transparent GUI on top of a fullscreen game application. I have looked and studied this post on SO: How to make window overlay (on top of browser,games exc.) with wxPython

I tried it out - and unfortunately it works well to show a transparent GUI when you are working on a desktop , but when you are running a fullscreen application the transparent window is hidden.

Can this be done with wxPython? If not, is there another toolkit or method people are aware of?

You could use

https://github.com/wxWidgets/Phoenix/blob/master/demo/Overlay.py

in combination with the wxNativeWindow.

Not sure it this is implemented in the Python wrapper though, it is listed here but not linked.
