For an EXE, one approach is to create a shortcut (I believe making a
PIF file will also work, but haven't tried that) and modify the
Options tab under Properties, in a way that will be obvious
when you get there...

Did you know that switching to full-screen requires a mere
"Alt+Enter", however? Maybe you don't need to force it there
to begin with.

Which GUI toolkit are you using? wxPython? tk? The answer depends on
that.
