pyscreenrec 0.2

A small python library to record screen.

pyscreenrec

pyscreenrec is a small and cross-platform python library to record screen.

Installation

Install on Windows: pip install pyscreenrec

Install on Linux/macOS: pip3 install pyscreenrec

Example usage

>>> import pyscreenrec
>>> recorder = pyscreenrec.ScreenRecorder()

>>> # to start recording
>>> recorder.start_recording("recording.mp4") # 'recording.mp4' is the name of the output video file, may also contain full path like 'C:/Users/<user>/Videos/video.mp4'

>>> # to pause recording
>>> recorder.pause_recording()

>>> # to resume recording
>>> recorder.resume_recording()

>>> # to stop recording
>>> recorder.stop_recording()

The stop_recording saves the video and deletes all screenshots used in the session. So calling the stop_recording method is necessary when start_recording is called.

Known limitations

pyscreenrec is yet not able to:

• capture the system sound during screen recording
• capture only a certain part of the screen

Change Log

Changes made in the latest version (v0.2) are:

• Introduced two new methods: pause_recording and resume_recording which can be used to pause and resume screen recording respectively.
• The timeout argument of the start_recording method is deprecated due to it miscellaneous behavior and clash with ability to pause and resume screen recording.
• The screen recording output video is now saved and the screenshots are deleted by stop_recording method.
