Pygame.camera in wxpython

Question

I tried to Pygame.camera embedded in wxPython.

after some searching, I found out It can do with SDL_WINDOWID. but I conldn't make it

The image is my Goal(what i want to make) http://kalten.tistory.com/entry/wxPython

Can you help me? I need just simple example

I don't care even if Camera Viewer with Simplecv(not pygame.camera)

Thank you!!!^^ Have a nice day

    self.parent = parent
    self.hwnd = self.GetHandle()
    os.environ['SDL_VIDEODRIVER'] = 'windib'
    os.environ['SDL_WINDOWID'] = str(self.hwnd)

From Pygame Tutorials Camera Module Introduction:

Capturing a Live Stream The rest of this tutorial will be based around capturing a live stream of images. For this, we will be using the class below. As described, it will simply blit a constant stream of camera frames to the screen, effectively showing live video. It is basically what you would expect, looping get_image(), blitting to the display surface, and flipping it. For performance reasons, we will be supplying the camera with the same surface to use each time.

class Capture(object):
     def __init__(self):
         self.size = (640,480)
         # create a display surface. standard pygame stuff
         self.display = pygame.display.set_mode(self.size, 0)

         # this is the same as what we saw before
         self.clist = pygame.camera.list_cameras()
         if not self.clist:
             raise ValueError("Sorry, no cameras detected.")
         self.cam = pygame.camera.Camera(self.clist[0], self.size)
         self.cam.start()

         # create a surface to capture to.  for performance purposes
         # bit depth is the same as that of the display surface.
         self.snapshot = pygame.surface.Surface(self.size, 0, self.display)

     def get_and_flip(self):
         # if you don't want to tie the framerate to the camera, you can check 
         # if the camera has an image ready.  note that while this works
         # on most cameras, some will never return true.
         if self.cam.query_image():
             self.snapshot = self.cam.get_image(self.snapshot)

         # blit it to the display surface.  simple!
         self.display.blit(self.snapshot, (0,0))
         pygame.display.flip()

     def main(self):
         going = True
         while going:
             events = pygame.event.get()
             for e in events:
                 if e.type == QUIT or (e.type == KEYDOWN and e.key == K_ESCAPE):
                     # close the camera safely
                     self.cam.stop()
                     going = False

             self.get_and_flip()

Since get_image() is a blocking call that could take quite a bit of time on a slow camera, this example uses query_image() to see if the camera is ready. This allows you to separate the framerate of your game from that of your camera. It is also possible to have the camera capturing images in a separate thread, for approximately the same performance gain, if you find that your camera does not support the query_image() function correctly.
