Screenshot in Python

Question

Hello! My problem is this: I want to make a screenshot of my pc screen using python, I can even beat the screenshot, however, the screenshot is only saved after running the program, I say, the print is only saved after my code finishes running... Is there any way to save the screenshot while running the program? Follows the code:

import pyautogui
import time

capturar = pyautogui.screenshot()
capturar.save('foto.jpg')

for a in range(1,10):
    print(a)
    time.sleep(1) 

As I said, screen capture is only saved after the for, that is when the code stops running. It can be saved before the execution of the program?

I believe that’s what you’re trying to do:

import os
import pyautogui
import time

foto = 'foto.jpg'

pyautogui.screenshot(foto)  # Desta forma o pyautogui salva a imagem

if os.path.isfile(foto):
   print("Foto salva")

for a in range(1,10):
    print(a)
    time.sleep(1)

The exit will be

% python salva_screenshot.py
Foto salva

I hope it helps
