I would think to a file named "screen_capture.jpg" in the current working directory. What that is for IDLE, I don't know. You can determine what folder that is by running this in your Python shell: from os import getcwd print(getcwd()) Also, I would suggest using absolute file paths in the future, rather than relative ones; e.g. "C:/Documents and Settings/Your username/Desktop/screen_capture.jpg" rather than just "screen_capture.jpg".
