PySoy is not going to have direct jpeg/png/bmp support. It will have support
for converting to/from these formats with PIL/etc. Screenshots, since windows
are permittable in resolutions other than n^2 and thus don't fit as a texture,
will likely output as a generic image class or string/buffer for PIL.

Screenshots are a semi-trivial but low priority feature. It'll get done at
some point, likely when I get tired of doing a File > Aquire > Screen Shot
with GIMP for blogging, but there's a long list of more critical features..
you can always add support yourself or bribe someone else to do it for you :-)
v1.0 is about getting a stable API/engine. We can /APPEND/ to the API, such
as a Window.screenshot() function, since this wouldn't break backward
compatability. We cannot, however, change things like the joint/collision
system during the 1.x release cycle, so those things are high priority.
