Unfortunately it is not. My concern is capturing the image data
into Python. I don't care about saving or loading to a file,
I don't care about which OS I have to use (as long as I get
the USB interface to work) etc.

Basically I just want to have a VFW frame grabber wrapper for
Python. The problem is that I don't know anything about VFW
or Windows system programming.
