I have been looking for ways to capture screenshots using Python, but I have=
 found nothing to help me. I have taken a few looks at the 'os' module, but=20=
couldn't find anything that looked helpful, although I probably missed somet=
hing. I have tried to find what I need by searching Google and the Python tu=
tor archive several times, but to no avail.

I'm not looking for a direct answer, just a hint at what I would have to do=20=
to capture screenshots in Python. Would I need to do something like simulate=
 a key press (if that's possible) or is there a function or module somewhere=
 that I'm just not aware of yet?

Also, I'm trying to accomplish this in Windows.

Thanks for the help,
Joshua Miller
