AttributeError: type object 'QPixmap' has no attribute 'grabWindow'
You should use
QScreen::grabWindow()
instead.
QPixmap::grabWindow()
is deprecated in Qt 5.0 because
:
there might be platform plugins in which window system identifiers (WId) are local to a screen.
grabWindow
method is now available in
QScreen
class.
You need to create
QScreen
object, initialize it with ex.
QtGuiApplication.primaryScreen()
and then grab the screen
screen.grabWindow(QApplication.desktop().winId())
import sys
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication
from PyQt5.QtGui import QPixmap, QScreen
from datetime import datetime
date = datetime.now()
filename = date.strftime('%Y-%m-%d_%H-%M-%S.jpg')
app = QApplication(sys.argv)
QScreen.grabWindow(app.primaryScreen(),
QApplication.desktop().winId()).save(filename, 'png')
