this would be suitable, if it had a documented driver, some sites said
it could only be used with the included
software. many bad comments, though:

I found this library
http://videocapture.sourceforge.net/
which may be useful to others



I will probably go for a TWAIN enabled grabber like
http://www.zarbeco.com/usb_videolink.htm
and use
twainmodule.sourceforge.net/

An alternative would be to use directshow, which seems to be supported
by many cameras:
http://directpython.sourceforge.net/index.html

thanks for your input
