Another good option is pyglet. I use it for converting video to streams of PIL images.
Here's the code for turning a pyglet image into a PIL image: def pyglet_to_pil_image (pyglet_image): image = pyglet_image.get_image_data() format = image.format if format != 'RGB': # Only save in RGB or RGBA formats. format = 'RGBA' pitch = -(image.width * len(format)) # Note: Don't try and use frombuffer(..); different versions of # PIL will orient the image differently. pil_image = Image.fromstring( format, (image.width, image.height), image.get_data(format, pitch)) # need to flip the image to accommodate Pyglet's transform space pil_image = pil_image.transpose(Image.FLIP_TOP_BOTTOM) return pil_image This code is part of extensions/video.py, part of the UpLib source code at http://uplib.parc.com/.
