The pi3d library includes a useful screenshot function to capture the screen in a .jpg or .png file. We can add a new key event to trigger it and call pi3d.screenshot("filename.jpg") to save an image (or use a counter to take multiple screenshots), as shown in the following code:
shotnum = 0 #Set counter to 0
while DISPLAY.loop_running()
...
if inputs.key_state("KEY_P"):
while inputs.key_state("KEY_P"):
inputs.do_input_events() # wait for key to go up
pi3d.screenshot("screenshot%04d.jpg"%( shotnum))
shotnum += 1
...
