Get Numpy Array From Pygame

I want to access my Webcam via python. Unfortunately openCV is not working because of the webcam. Pygame.camera works like a charm with this code: from pygame import camera,display

Solution 1:

get_image returns a Surface. According to http://www.pygame.org/docs/ref/surfarray.html, you can use pygame.surfarray.array2d (or one of the other functions in the surfarray module) to convert the Surface to a numpy array. E.g.

    img = webcam.get_image()
    data = pygame.surfarray.array2d(img)
