shutter

Shutter doesn't expose the entire libgphoto2 API, rather, it tries to create a simple way to capture images from a camera.

Use libgphoto2 to control a tethered camera. Fork of defunct project 'piggyphoto' by Alex Dumitrache

I've cleaned it up quiet a bit, and added patches that were left in pull requests, but much is still untested.

Currently supported on linux and python 3.4

Use

# use the first camera detected on system
import shutter
camera = shutter.Camera()

# capture and save an image
camera.capture_image("file.jpg")

# keep the image data
data = camera.capture_image()
data.save("file.jpg")

# use regular expressions to search for a model
import re
camera = shutter.Camera(re.compile('canon'))

Supports

• Capturing images, previews
• Gracefully handle multiple cameras (regex search)
• Probably more, but untested

Goals

• unit tests, someday
• remove all the cruft!
