Hi,

This is how I take my screenshots:

def takeScreenShot(application):
 img = capture(SCREEN) # img is an image file .png in temp folder now
 ts = time.time()
 st = datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(ts).strftime('%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S')
 if not os.path.exists('PATH'):
  os.makedirs('')
 shutil.move(img, 'PATH\\%(appName)s\\%(timeStamp)s.png' %{"appName": application, "timeStamp": st})

Thanks, what does "SCREEN" mean here in capture(SCREEN)?

How do I call this function i.e. what value do I pass for application?

SCREEN means the whole screen rather than a region that you could also pass as an argument to "capture()".
Just use it as is.

Thanks a lot, sorry but still did not getwhat to pass to takeScreenShot function as parameter, I would like ideally to take snapshot of the entire App in focus.

Oh, sorry. Now I see what are you asking :)
In my case I just supply the name of the current test to keep the screenshots in order. So basically it is just any text string.
