Using Python with the Raspberry Pi Camera

I will use a clever Python library named python-picamera, created by Dave Jones (Github), which will permit the Pi Camera to both be operated in an interactive mode as well as programmed for specific operations. You must have Python 2.7 installed for this library to function. I believe the latest Raspian download version contains it, but if not, enter this command to install Python:

sudo apt-get install python python-dev

Once Python is ready, enter the following command to load the picamera Python library:

sudo apt-get install python-picamera

Start Python and enter the following commands to test the library and see how well it functions with the Pi camera (the arrow prompts indicate this is an interactive Python session):
