kandi X-RAY | pyscreenshot Summary
the pyscreenshot module is obsolete in most cases. it was created because [pil][5] imagegrab module worked on windows only, but now linux and macos are also [supported][15] by pillow. there are some features in pyscreenshot which can be useful in special cases: flexible backends, wayland support, sometimes better performance, optional subprocessing. the module can be used to copy the contents of the screen to a [pillow][6] image memory using various back-ends. replacement for the [imagegrab][15] module. for handling image memory (e.g. saving to file, converting,..) please read [pillow][6] documentation. links: * home: * pypi: goal: pyscreenshot tries to allow to take screenshots without installing 3rd party libraries. it is cross-platform. it is only a pure python wrapper, a thin layer over existing back-ends. its strategy should work on most linux distributions: a lot of back-ends are wrapped, if at least one exists

QUESTION
I am developing an app for Android and i have this issue - after i have taken a picture with the camera, i need to crop it. But the coordinates for the rectangle i have dragged over the capturing area start from the screen's 0,0 coordinates aka touch coordinates do not match actual picture's - if i try to crop the image with these using PIL, i get a partial result. One possible solution would be to take a partial screenshot with these coordinates and get the cropped picture that way. I tried to use pyscreenshot, but then i found out that it does not work on Android. Any ideas how to capture a partial screenshot on Kivy?
Thank you
...ANSWER
Answered 2022-Jan-01 at 12:17For possible anyone with the same issue - i did not find any good way to grab a screenshot and crop selected portion out of it. I did, however, solve it this way - i move to a new screen, resize picture to device's screen resolution and from then i can crop it with touch without no issues - i did not have to find a clever way to map screen coordinates with image's. After cropping and saving i resize the image back to a fixed resolution. This is not a elegant solution, but still will serve my purpose. Thank you anyone who thought along with me.

Ok, so I've been trying to make a program to search between these 2 parameters: "MA(7):" and "MA(25):". I have made programs that use the re.search function in the past, but this one is stubborn and doesn't work. The code is as follows:

Answered 2021-Jul-16 at 04:57This is the expression I used:

I am a newbie to python web apps.
I'm using pythonanywhere to host my webapp.
Pyscreenshot is installed via pip3.8 install --user Pillow pyscreenshot
I am using ajax to call a function on button click which uses pyscreenshot to take screenshot of the screen and store it as an image file on given path.
Everything runs fine on local environment (manjaro, python3.8)
However when I run the same code on pythonanywhere, I get an unhandled exception on the site. In the error logs I see the following:
...ANSWER
Answered 2020-Jun-16 at 12:19PyScreenshot is for taking screenshots of desktop applications. Since your application is running on a server, there's nothing to take a screenshot of.
If you intended to take a screenshot of the user's browser, you would use frontend tooling, which runs in the browser, not a server-side tool.
QUESTION
I have a simple python script that takes screenshots of a computer that is running Ubuntu. I want it to run automatically on startup, so I put @reboot python3 /bin/program.py
in the non-sudo version of crontab.
The program works fine when run from terminal, but gives the error pyscreenshot.err.FailedBackendError
. I put it in a try loop, and had it write all exceptions to a file, and that's how I found the error message, "All backends failed."
It has something to do with the program 'pyscreenshot' not working correctly.

Install pyscreenshot
You can use pyscreenshot like any standard Python library. You will need to make sure that you have a development environment consisting of a Python distribution including header files, a compiler, pip, and git installed. Make sure that your pip, setuptools, and wheel are up to date. When using pip it is generally recommended to install packages in a virtual environment to avoid changes to the system.
