[Python] python and webcam??

Hi,
I'd like to know if is it possible to make python communicate with a
webcam. Of course, I think it is possible... but I don't know if there
is a specific module for this kind of work. Can anyone give me a council?

Thanks

Peter Hansen: Depends a lot on the type of webcam, but in any case it's a pretty safe bet that (a) it's possible, and (b) there is no *specific* module for the task. That said, there are things like PIL which could be of use in this area, and at least one specific webcam package (probably using calldll to get to the library for the device) that has been posted in the past. -Peter
