Screen Scraping for Modern Applications?

[ljr2600 at gmail.com]

Hello,

I'm very new to python and still familiarizing myself with the
language, sorry if the post seems moronic or simple.

For a side project I'm working on I need to be able to scrape a modern
computer desktop. Is there any basic material already available to do
this? I'd rather not need to write my own to interact with hardware.

Thanks!
