-Printscreen-

--PRINT SCREEN--

This code was written as a tool to document a process of work or research with the computer; it makes a print screen every minute for an hour and saves it as a JPEG. Once the code runs out the images are converted into a gif file generating an overview of the working process (imagemagik).

to work out: Control over the speed of display in order to read the lines; right now the gif just gives a vertiginous insight of what I was busy with for an hour without allowing actual use of the information.

from PIL import ImageGrab

import datetime, time

start = datetime.datetime.now ()

now = datetime.datetime.now()

intervalo = now - start

while intervalo.total_seconds()<= 3600:

    now = datetime.datetime.now()

    intervalo = now-start

    print intervalo

    im = ImageGrab.grab()

    printscreen = str(now.strftime("%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M"))+'.jpg'

    im.save(printscreen)

    time.sleep(60)
