It captures the screen as an Image object (via Pillow) and can save screenshots to disk. More importantly, it finds where a given image appears on screen by comparing pixel data, returning coordinates that can be used to automate clicks or other interactions\u2014useful for GUI testing, automation scripts, and visual verification tasks.\n\nThe library provides locate functions that search for template images on screen or within other images, returning bounding-box tuples (left, top, width, height) or center coordinates. It also supports pixel-level operations: reading RGB values at specific coordinates and checking whether a pixel matches an expected color within a tolerance. On a typical 1920\u00d71080 screen, screenshot capture takes roughly 100 milliseconds and locate operations take 1\u20132 seconds; optional OpenCV integration can reduce locate time to under 1 millisecond.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need cross-platform screenshot capture and image-location for automation or testing. Install friction is moderate (platform-specific setup on Linux) and maintenance is dormant but not abandoned. No known vulnerabilities. Be aware that Pillow's security requirements mean Python 3.5 users face outdated dependencies; modern Python versions are safer. Suitable for automation scripts, GUI testing, and visual verification workflows."},"id":"pyscreeze","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pyscreeze","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/pyscreeze.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/pyscreeze/"},"maintenance":{"status":"dormant"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2024-08-20","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"PyScreeze","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"A simple, cross-platform screenshot module for Python 2 and 3."},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":2964642,"position":2806,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.0.1"}
