[Tutor] saving Tkinter canvas as jpg

[Benjamin Fishbein]

> Have you imported PIL ?  Show a small coding example here with the traceback. Cut and paste the traceback, don't paraphrase it.

Here's what printed out:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#65>", line 1, in <module>
    from PIL import ImageGrab
  File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/PIL/ImageGrab.py", line 34, in <module>
    import _grabscreen
ImportError: No module named _grabscreen

From what I've seen online, this isn't available for mac...of course everything about this module is several years old, and it hasn't been updated with a new version in a few years, so I think there must be something better than it.


> I'm writing a program to draw pictures. I'm using Python 2.7.3 on Mac OSx. I'm trying to find a good way to save the canvas as a jpg (or other pic formats). The advice I've found on stackoverflow is ImageGrab from PIL, but apparently that doesn't work for macs. I get the "no module named _grabscreen" ImportError.
