| I am attempting to use win32all to perform screen captures and save
| the bitmap to a file.  The call to GetClipboardData fails saying
| GetClipboardData(CF_BITMAP) is unimplemented.  Any ideas?

Obviously, if you specifically want to use win32, then
what I'm about to suggest won't help, but if you just
want to do a screen grab with Python then have a look
at the Python Imaging Library's ImageGrab module:
