    sct.shot()

An ultra-fast cross-platform multiple screenshots module in pure python using ctypes.

Python 3.9+, PEP8 compliant, no dependency, thread-safe;
very basic, it will grab one screenshot by monitor or a screenshot of all monitors and save it to a PNG file;
but you can use PIL and benefit from all its formats (or add yours directly);
integrate well with Numpy and OpenCV;
it could be easily embedded into games and other software which require fast and platform optimized methods to grab screenshots (like AI, Computer Vision);
get the source code on GitHub;
learn with a bunch of examples;
you can report a bug;
need some help? Use the tag python-mss on Stack Overflow;
and there is a complete, and beautiful, documentation :)
MSS stands for Multiple ScreenShots;

You can install it with pip:

python -m pip install -U --user mss

Or you can install it with Conda:

conda install -c conda-forge python-mss
