pyscreenshot.loader.PluginLoaderError: Install at least one backend!

最近在做一个系统自动升级的脚本，本来是在ubuntu13.4上面跑的，运行很稳定，可是客户又需要能放到redhat上面去跑，所以我重新测试了一下，结果卡在了截图这一步。

升级脚本是python写的，截图工具用了pyscreenshot,安装就用pip安装很方便。这里选用pyscreenshot这个库的原因是，它支持很多的后端backend（比如scrot, imagemagick, pyqt, wx and pygtk，只要安装了这些中的其中一个，pyscreensot就可以截图成功）。由于redhat是新装的系统，所以要安装的包比较多。刚开始我不知道，会有后端的图形包的依赖，所以在新系统中直接调用pyscreenshot，结果报了如下的错：

 

[root@localhost pysphere]# python auto-snap.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "auto-snap.py", line 10, in <module>
    screenshot('abc.png')   
  File "auto-snap.py", line 8, in screenshot
    ImageGrab.grab_to_file(path)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pyscreenshot/__init__.py", line 70, in grab_to_file
    return _grab(to_file=True, childprocess=childprocess, backend=backend, filename=filename)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pyscreenshot/__init__.py", line 41, in _grab
    backend_obj = BackendLoader().selected()
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pyscreenshot/loader.py", line 74, in selected
    self.raise_exc()
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pyscreenshot/loader.py", line 82, in raise_exc
    raise PluginLoaderError(message)
pyscreenshot.loader.PluginLoaderError: Install at least one backend!

 

重点是最后一句，你应该至少安装一个后端，然后我选择了imagemagick作为后端，从官网上面下载然后安装就可以截图了。

 

Install:

easy_install pyscreenshot

Example:

import pyscreenshot as ImageGrab

# fullscreen
im=ImageGrab.grab()
im.show()

# part of the screen
im=ImageGrab.grab(bbox=(10,10,500,500))
im.show()

# to file
ImageGrab.grab_to_file('im.png')

‘’‘

import pyscreenshot as ImageGrab

def screenshot(filename):
    ImageGrab.grab_to_file(filename)

screenshot('test.png')

’‘’

 

这样就可以解决问题。
