My task is to integrate the Nest Cam with a python code. When nest Cam detects a motion , it should then take a picture and send it to my python code for further processing. How this task can be achieved ?

Have you looked at the API documentation? https://developer.nest.com – urman Oct 21 '16 at 18:33

Nest has provided a sample means of Authenticating with the API for python at https://developers.nest.com/documentation/cloud/sample-code-auth
You can then poll the Camera using the API for a change to the last_event object https://developers.nest.com/documentation/cloud/api-overview#last_event-cam and if it has changed, you can request the snapshot web_url and download the picture.
There are limits of 2 snapshots per minute if you do not have Nest Aware and 10 snapshops per minute if you do have Nest Aware. There are some other polling limits so you will want to read the API docs to ensure you don't go over them.
