Description:
MSS stands for Multiple ScreenShots. mss is an ultra-fast cross-platform multiple screenshots module in pure Python using ctypes. Featues: * 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 * 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)
