Using ImageGrab (PIL) to capture screen of remote computer

2007-10-02 Thread jorma kala 
Hi,

Is it possible to use ImageGrab of the Python Imaging Library to capture the
screen of a remote computer?

I'm running my python program on a computer that is connected directly via a
ethernet crossover cable to another computer.
Can I somehow get ImageGrab to grab the display of the remote computer by
specifying the IP address ?

Thanks a lot

No.  Unless you're using something like VNC to duplicate the remote  
computer's screen locally...  In which case you're still capturing  
the screen of the local machine.
