Hi

I need to do something like this. Was planning to use PIL or a Zope prodcyt
liek 'Photo'  so I can capture and automatically upload and thumbnail users
screens.

Needs to be very cross platform, opensource..

I am new to ImageMagick.
How did you interface it to Python?  ...Details, examples welcome

One crazy idea I just had is to look at VNC
VNC has versatile ways for grabbing screens and section of them.
An awesome tool. Free...
Would be great to connect VNC and PIL!

What is VNC? - A practical introduction
VNC stands for Virtual Network Computing. It is, in essence, a remote
display system which allows you to view a computing 'desktop' environment
not only on the machine where it is running, but from anywhere on the
Internet and from a wide variety of machine architectures.
