  • Go to pyscreeze/__init__.py (located either in virutalenv or inside your python folder) file, eg: "/Users/dirk/Library/Python/2.7/lib/python/site-packages/pyscreeze/__init__.py"

  • Navigate to line 327 or 331, inside function: def _screenshot_osx

  • Remove the . symbol in tempFilename = '.screenshot%s.png', so it should look like tempFilename = 'screenshot%s.png'
