Comment 13 for bug 583124

I just signed the Canonical contributor agreement but haven't got any response so far.

I played with http://code.google.com/p/pyxlib-ctypes/ which looked interesting to get more speed. Actually grabbing a screenshot and converting to a numpy array only takes 0.109460830688 seconds. But it lacks support for the xtest extension (fake_input). So both python-xlib and pyxlib-ctypes would be needed.
