Re: Screenshots in Mac OS X
Well, I'm not going to post my whole module as I get little testing on mac, but I will let you in on a little secret: Use a GUI, such as wxPython or QT or other, then create a basic fullscreen frame that is invisible and copy its DC to the clipboard. Not exactly a hack(might be edgy), but it works. Writing the gui/logic code will be up to you. here is a basic wx example f = wxFrame(None, -1) f.Show(True) f.SetTransparent(0) # Bind your hotkeys to capture the screen. Also, not sure ATM... but I recall someone wrote a cross platform screenshot implementation IIRC that replaces PIL's ImageGrab module, I think it is pyscreenshot or something similar. You might want to look into that. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Assuming that you're talking to me, no problem.
Do you mean "replying" and not "reverting", as I observe that you've
used this elsewhere?

Also, this process should be executing at the backend, so that, whenever these keys are pressed, it overrides the system's functionality and uses mine. There are no simple answers to these questions. With Tkinter, it's possible to code a basic UI and bind combinations of specific keys to trigger specific callbacks, which can fire specific sequences of arguments to the screencapture CLI tool. That's the quick and dirty way. I'm not going to write this code for you. Look at TkDocs.com and effbot's site for an introduction to Tkinter. If you are not looking for a GUI app to do this, but some sort of system-level daemon, that requires a lower level of coding. You'll need to look at such system frameworks as CoreGraphics and Cocoa to find the API's you need. PyObjC (Python binding to Cocoa) can probably be helpful here. Frankly, I'm not sure Python is the best tool here, but if you go this route, you want a Python API that hews as closely to the system-level calls as possible, and PyObjC will likely be your best path here. --Kevin -- Kevin Walzer Code by Kevin/Mobile Code by Kevin http://www.codebykevin.com http://www.wtmobilesoftware.com -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Command-Shift-3 takes a screenshot of the whole screen and saves it as a file on the desktop. Command-Control-Shift-3: takes a screenshot of the whole screen and saves it to the clipboard.

Screenshots in Mac OS X
Hi Guys, Good Morning! How are you all doing? I am in need of your help. I am stuck in a problem. I want to write my own Screenshot Taking program in Python for Mac OS X. Example : Whenever Command + Shift + 3 is pressed ==> whatever is there on the screen, should be grabbed / captured, and should be stored on my local with my own desired path, and name should automatically given as SnapshotX.. as in Snapshot1, Snapshot2, etc... The same goes with Command + Shift + 4 ==> the only difference is that, it allows you to select a particular area to be captured / grabbed. Command + Shift + 5 ==> This one is a little bit tricky which I am looking for. This shortcut doesn't exist. I want to create one of my own, where it would grab the entire webpage's screenshot which I am currently working on, and store the name as the webpage's link. Thanks in advance for your kind help and time. Thanks & Regards, Pratts -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

I'm not sure how much what you want to do differs from what OS X already provides out of the box but perhaps this reference can give you some ideas: http://guides.macrumors.com/Taking_Screenshots_in_Mac_OS_X -- Ned Deily, n...@acm.org -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Sounds like a difficult thing to write from scratch. Can you find something off-the-shelf that takes a snapshot of your current window, and then maybe add some interaction with the web browser? Otherwise, you're poking around with screenshotting directly, which is very much a solved problem.
