Taking screenshots using pyscreenshot

I just want to create a screenshot with python. In the internet it's written that I need to use the pyscreenshot lib with the pillow lib. So I installed both and imported them into the py file.

Finally I came to this:

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import pyscreenshot as ImageGrab

img = ImageGrab.grab()
plt.imshow(img, cmap='gray', interpolation='bicubic')
plt.show()

This gives me no error, however, the screenshot does not popup.

What did I do wrong here?

So i found the problem...

istead of:

import pyscreenshot as ImageGrab

i did:

from PIL import ImageGrab

thats all.

Here is my final code:

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from PIL import ImageGrab

img = ImageGrab.grab()


plt.imshow(img, cmap='gray', interpolation='bicubic')
plt.show()

hopefully that helped you if you have the same problem as i had.
