[pygame] image conversion in memory

[diliup gabadamudalige <diliupg@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all!

Is there a way to convert a pygame surface to a png or jpeg IN MEMORY instead of saving to disk and loading again?

something like

get_screen = SCREEN.subsurface(0, 0, SCREENW, SCREENH) # grab the screen

my_image = get_screen.convert(jpeg) # now convert the image to jpeg

and now my_image is a jpeg image of get_screen

I searched the net but couldn't find any other way other than save to disk as jpeg and reload.

Any positive OR negative help is very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance
