sct.shot()An ultra fast cross-platform multiple screenshots module in pure python using ctypes.
Python 3.5+ and PEP8 compliant, no dependency, thread-safe;
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 software which require fast and platform optimized methods to grab screen shots (like AI, Computer Vision);
get the source code on GitHub;
learn with a bunch of examples;
you can report a bug;
need some help? Use the tag python-mss on StackOverflow;
and there is a complete, and beautiful, documentation :)
MSS stands for Multiple Screen Shots;
