Newer versions of SDL have a function pygame.display.get_wm_info().
This returns a dictionary of platform specific values about the display.
Nearly all platforms return a "window" value you could use.

    win = pygame.display.set_mode(resolution)
    info = pygame.display.get_wm_info()
    windowid = info.get("window")
    print "The window ID is", hex(windowid)
