Is there a way to access hardware directly in Python?

I want to learn about graphical libraries by myself and toy with them a bit. I built a small program that defines lines and shapes as lists of pixels, but I cannot find a way to access the screen directly so that I can display the points on the screen without any intermediate.

What I mean is that I do not want to use any prebuilt graphical library such as gnome, cocoa, etc. I usually use Python to code and my program uses Python, but I can also code and integrate C modules with it.

I am aware that accessing the screen hardware directly takes away the multi-platform side of Python, but I disregard it for the sake of learning. So: is there any way to access the hardware directly in Python, and if so, what is it?

I think you maybe asking the wrong people about this. Most of what we do here is headless. We either remote SSH into a device or we access it through a browser. We rarely if ever even attach a monitor.
