Hi Johnny, As someone already said, it could be possible to do that without going into any code, but assuming you want to do it by means of Python...
I assume you're using Windows, are you trying to control another application (the one that came with your webcam)? are you trying to write a program that accesses the driver for your webcam? In any case, whatever you're trying to accomplish will have a lot to do with what the operating system allows you. May I suggest you take another program or exercise more related to programming before you become complicated with so mucho weird operating system interfaces? I suppose webcams are accessed through the TWAIN infterface. There is (old) support for python, here: http://twainmodule.sourceforge.net/docs/ Hugo johnny` walker wrote: > i was wondering if there was a way to automatically take a picture from > my webcam every oh say 5 minutes? > > is there anyway of doing this (im very new to programming languages.) > > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > _______________________________________________ > Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
