What is pycamera?

Pycamera is a wrapper around OpenCV for people who, don't know how to use OpenCV, don't want to use OpenCV for such a simple project, or want something easier!

Examples

Save Picture

from pycamera import camera

cam = camera.Camera(0) # Choosing a camera
snap = cam.snap() # Snapping a picture from that camera

snap.save("output.jpg") # Save picture to output.jpg

Editing with Pillow

from pycamera import camera
from PIL import Image, ImageDraw

cam = camera.Camera(0) # Choosing a camera
snap = cam.snap() # Snap photo
image = snap.to_pillow() # Convert pycamera image to Pillow image

draw = ImageDraw.Draw(image)
# Draw stuff here
image.show()

Live View

import pycamera
from pycamera import camera

cam = camera.Camera(0) # Choosing a camera

while True:
    snap = cam.read() # (reading is better for loops)
    snap.show()
    pycamera.waitForKey() # Wait until key is pressed (default key is Escape)
