I was trying to call this function as a modal through code but unfortunately when I execute bpy.ops.mesh.transform.resize(long list of values here), it applies the function directly and I want this as a modal just like when I press the "S" key triggered through code.

$\begingroup$ I haven't worked with modal operators yet, but there are some modal script templates shipped with blender that might be a source of seeing how it works. $\endgroup$– Craig D JonesJun 24, 2017 at 1:24

$\begingroup$ I know how to make custom modal functions, but how do I access the existing modals like the resize(face,vert,edge), knife tool,etc ? $\endgroup$– RetraxJun 24, 2017 at 1:28

$\begingroup$ To adjust the properties used by an operator, which is referred to "redoing" the operator, you can use the operator panel at the bottom of the toolbar or press F6. $\endgroup$– samblerJun 24, 2017 at 7:02

$\begingroup$ No, this isnt what I'm asking, I'm asking how do I execute the existing modal functions like the resize, scale, knife tool.etc through code. $\endgroup$– RetraxJun 24, 2017 at 13:50

You can achieve the behavior you desire ( user interaction ) by explicitly passing the execution context (INVOKE_DEFAULT) as the first argument.
bpy.ops.mesh.transform.resize('INVOKE_DEFAULT', ......)
The default execution context is 'EXEC_DEFAULT' and is implicit for all operators. In such a case just the execute() method defined for the operator is called using the default or passed operator properties. But in case an operator defines an invoke/modal method and 'INVOKE_DEFAULT' is the execution context, either an operator properties user interface can be used to execute the operator or can be run modally or both.
