This is the code for the 3D Scanner I am using for arduino+python

Scanner.py

#Libraries to run program
import os,sys
from PIL import Image
import math
import serial as Serial
import time
import pygame
import pygame.camera

serial = Serial.Serial('/dev/ttyACM0',9600)


'''This function as for what object is to be scanned and creates a 
directory on the desktop'''
def createDir():	
	title = raw_input("Object to be scanned: ")
	desktop = r'/home/Desktop'
	direc = os.path.join(desktop,title)
	os.makedirs(direc)
	print 'Directory created on desktop!'
	return direc,title
	
'''Next it is required for the camera to capture a photo of the object 
and communicate with the arduino to continually capture and rotate 1 
step. The total number of steps for this motor is 200 steps. A '1' will
be sent to the Arduino as the controller will interprete this serial to 
rotate 1 step'''
def capture(direc,title):
	#Used to determine USB camera and enable camera
	pygame.camera.init()
	#camlist = pygame.camera.list_cameras()
	#print camlist
	cam = pygame.camera.Camera("/dev/video0",(640,480))
	cam.start()
	
	for i in range(200):
		print ('Capturing Image %i...' % i)
		image = cam.get_image()
		print ('Saving Image %i...' % i)
		image_list = [title,'_',str(i),'.jpg']
		image_name = "".join(image_list)
		image_save = os.path.join(direc,image_name)
		pygame.image.save(image,image_save)
		time.sleep(3)
		#FROM HERE DOWN...AFTER THE IMAGE IS CAPTURED AND SAVED
		#THE ARDUINO NEEDS TO BE SIGNALLED TO ROTATE 1 STEP
		serial.write('1')

	cam.stop()

to work no the section of code that actually analysis the photos '''
