A simple webcam application using pygame's camera module. It searches for all cameras connected to the computer and uses the first one on the list, if it finds any.
To be able to run, you'll have to have python's (2.7) pygame installed.
Run with python pyCam.py. Pressing the spacebar after the camera has been started will save a .jpg snapshot, with the current timestamp as a filename, in the root directory of the application.
