Hi:

I was asking a similar question just a short while ago, got very good 
advice from Magnus Lycka, and I posted my research on specifically grabbing 
Tkinter canvas on 19/6:

Basically the answer lies in the ImageGrab module available in the PIL 
library. PIL is available from
http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/index.htm#pil114

Info on Tkinter grabbing is available at

All the best,
