WebCam capture with Python on Mac OS X
I typically program in Python, and in the absence of any open source astrophotography software for webcam image capture that will run under the current Mac OS X, perhaps I can write something myself. So - how can you capture web camera photos from Python? One way is using OpenCV (originally Intel’s Open Source Computer Vision library). Another popular library is VideoCapture, but it is Windows only.
