.. py:function:: PIL.ImageGrab.grab(bbox=None)
Take a snapshot of the screen. The pixels inside the bounding box are
returned as an "RGB" image on Windows or "RGBA" on OS X.
If the bounding box is omitted, the entire screen is copied.
.. versionadded:: 1.1.3
:param bbox: What region to copy. Default is the entire screen.
:return: An image
.. py:function:: PIL.ImageGrab.grabclipboard()
Take a snapshot of the clipboard image, if any.
.. versionadded:: 1.1.4
:return: On Windows, an image, a list of filenames,
or None if the clipboard does not contain image data or filenames.
Note that if a list is returned, the filenames may not represent image files.
On Mac, this is not currently supported.
