An ultra fast cross-platform multiple screenshots module in pure python using ctypes.

  • Python 2 & 3 and PEP8 compliant, no dependency;

  • very basic, it will grab one screen shot by monitor or a screen shot of all monitors and save it to a PNG file;

  • but you can use PIL and benefit from all its formats (or add yours directly);

  • integrate well with Numpy and OpenCV;

  • it could be easily embedded into games and other softwares which require fast and plateforme optimized methods to grab screenshots;

  • get the source code on GitHub;

  • learn with a bunch of examples;

  • you can report a bug;

  • and there is a complete, and beautiful, documentation :)

  • MSS stands for Multiple ScreenShots;

Installation

You can install it with pip:

pip install --upgrade mss
