So it's far from not being useful. And a pure python video capture lib is
unlikely to happen - for various reasons, not the least being that there
are plenty of data to shuffle around in video grabbing. So - that _is_ a
C-domain.

I suggest you try getting libfg to run, probably by using you distro's
package management.
