pygame.camera.init()

cameras = pygame.camera.list_cameras()

webcam = pygame.camera.Camera(cameras[0])

webcam.start()

img = webcam.get_image()

WIDTH = img.get_width()
HEIGHT = img.get_height()

screen = pygame.display.set_mode( ( WIDTH, HEIGHT ) )
pygame.display.set_caption("pyGame webcam")

while True :
    for e in pygame.event.get() :
        if e.type == pygame.QUIT :
            sys.exit()
    screen.blit(img, (0,0))
    pygame.display.flip()
    img = webcam.get_image()
