[Tutor] web cam

2009-05-20 Thread Ricardo Aráoz
Hi, a friend of mine has asked me how difficult would it be to send web
cam images through python program as a hobby project.
Honestly, at this point I have no idea where does he want to put python
in the equation nor what does the project entail. So I'm asking for
pointers to :
a) Any already done projects in python
b) keywords to google for
c) what parts do you think I'll need to put together (web service,
client, browser) and which modules do you recommend.

I know this is a half baked question, just some pointers on where to
start from would be enough.

Thanks

Google 'python web cam' for some ideas.

You can upload still shots from the web cam with pycurl.
