Have a look on the below python script to take snap of FB homepage by using selenium package of Chrome web driver.

Script:

import selenium

from selenium import webdriver

import time

from time import sleep

chrome_browser = webdriver.Chrome()

chrome_browser.get('https://www.facebook.com/') # Enter to FB login page

sleep(5)

chrome_browser.save_screenshot('C:/Users/user/Desktop/demo.png') # To take FB homepage snap

chrome_browser.close() # To Close the driver connection

chrome_browser.quit() # To Close the browser

You can use below function for relative path as absolute path is not a good idea to add in script  Import  import sys  os   Use code as below    ROOT DIR   os path dirname os path abspath   file     screenshotpath   os path join os path sep  ROOT DIR  Screenshots   os sep  driver get screenshot as file screenshotpath  testPngFunction png     make sure you create the folder where the  py file is present   os path join also prevent you to run your script in cross-platform like  UNIX and windows  It will generate path separator as per OS at runtime  os sep is similar like File separtor in java

I understand you are looking for an answer in python  but here is how one would do it in ruby    http   watirwebdriver com screenshots   If that only works by saving in current directory only   I would first assign the image to a variable and then save that variable to disk as a PNG file   eg    image   b screenshot png   File open  testfile png    w   do  file    file puts    image    end   where b is the browser variable used by webdriver  i have the flexibility to provide an absolute or relative path in  File open  so I can save the image anywhere
