Display the output of a webcam using Python and Pygame

Hi, Thanks for the code. Do you know how can I get try: stream = io.BytesIO() for _ in camera.capture_continuous( stream, format='jpeg', use_video_port=True): stream.seek(0) image = Image.open(stream).convert('RGB').resize((width, height), Image.ANTIALIAS)
this work with pygame? I mean I need to get a stream bytes and capture an image.

I suspect this code is far too old to work with Python 3! PyGame now has a camera module though:

I am not a python expert but this code was written for picamera. However I need to do something similar with pygame.
I need to continously capture an image from camera stream.

The link I posted to the PyGame website contains an example of this.

thanks :) I am reading it.
