Wow, I thought briefly along those lines but then thought "No, it can't possibly be that easy" :-) It looks like the approach given in that link could benefit hugely from using numpy to treat the bitmaps as arrays to speed up processing but that should be pretty straightforward. I'll give it a try as-is and then look at optimisation if required. Saying that, and thinking about the itch I'm trying to scratch here, I think I could also safely ignore the borders of the image so that would reduce the processing requirements anyway. Add in a FIFO file buffer so I can do pre/post-event image capture plus a spot of SMTP mail alerting and the job's done! Thanks again. Matthew. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
