import win32api, win32con
win32api.keybd_event(win32con.VK_SNAPSHOT, 0)

Discussion:

If you want the active window screen then,

import win32api, win32con
win32api.keybd_event(win32con.VK_SNAPSHOT, 1)

On X Window System, execute the xwd command. But can not screen cast, I want to examine a method.
