I'm using pyautogui to take few screenshots per second and save them. pyautogui save the screenshot without the cursor, can I take the screenshot with it by default (without edit the photo)?

This is the code I'm using:

import time
import pyautogui


def takeScreenshot(count):
    myScreenshot = pyautogui.screenshot()
    myScreenshot.save(r'imgs\screenshot_'+str(count)+'.png')
    time.sleep(0.2)
    takeScreenshot(count+1)

takeScreenshot(0)

    as I know `pyautogui` uses external programs to take screenshot. On Linux it uses program `scrot` which has option `--pointer` and you could use `subprocess.call` to run directly `scrot` with option `--pointer` – furas Oct 15 '21 at 03:29
  • There are operating system specific ways to do this. If you're on Windows, you can use the Windows API to temporarily set an empty cursor. I don't know of any system-independent way of doing so. – Tim Roberts Dec 22 '21 at 19:05
