Busqué y encontré una solución para Windows en:
http://code.activestate.com/recipes/440694-determine-size-of-console-window-on-windows/
y una solución para Linux aquí.
Así que aquí hay una versión que funciona tanto en Linux, OS X y Windows / Cygwin:
""" getTerminalSize()
- get width and height of console
- works on linux,os x,windows,cygwin(windows)
"""
