In virtualbox API documentation it is listed that getFramebuffer()
takes more than one parameter. I have tried your example code on both
windows and ubuntu, beta1 and beta2. It's always 'invalid number of
parameters' error. What is a trick to run a code you have suggested?

Hi Grigory,
Yes, it is possible, although in somewhat convoluted way, for
example on Linux in vboxshell one can issue following command
(assuming you started guest in not headless mode):
vbox> guest nt4sp6 os.system('xwd -id '+str
(console.display.getFramebuffer(0)[0].winId)+'| xwdtopnm | pnmtopng
> /tmp/Screenshot.png')
It will take screen of the first display in guest called 'nt4sp6',
although relying upon few external programs
for image conversion. Similar approach can be taken on Windows.
We're considering implementing more straightforward API in the future.
Thanks,
Nikolay

Hello.
Is it possible to use Python API in order to get image of guest os
display? (complete display or part of display, with or without
guest additions, it doesn't matter). I can speculate that this can
be done somehow via getFramebuffer() method, but exact sequence is
unclear - it's no example available :(.
Best, Grigory
