Project description
Python MSS
from mss import mss
# The simplest use, save a screen shot of the 1st monitor
with mss() as sct:
sct.shot()
An ultra fast cross-platform multiple screenshots module in pure python using ctypes.
- Python 3.8+, 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;
