Snapshot+Clipboard

[Yves Lange]

Hello,
i'm searching a method to take a snapshot and save it in a jpg, bmp or
gif file. I tried with win32api and win32con but it save the snapshot to
the clipboard, so i tried to redirect this in a file but i have some
problems while getting the IMAGE stocked in the clipboard and save it to
a file. Can somebody help me ?

Questions:
-How can i read the snapshot in the clipboard ?
-How can i take a snapshot in a different way (less difficult) ?

Thks.

Use PIL which on Windows supports taking snapshots of the screen.
<code>
import ImageGrab
GrabbedImage = ImageGrab.grab() # store screenshot as "RGB" Image
GrabbedImage.save("TheScreenshot.jpg") # PIL evaluates extension
</code>

In my project I need a module to do the ImageGrab's job but in linux,
so is there a linux version module by now or do you know the other module
fit for linux?
