Solution for me was to allow the executing app (VSCode, iTerm) to grab the screen. This was mentioned and solved here
Manual fix:
Open Spotlight → System Preferences → Security & Privacy → Screen Recording → Click lock symbol → add app that runs the python command (e.g. VSCode, iTerm)
(tested with Big Sur 11.4, Python 3.9.5)

Python Pillow - ImageGrab.grab()Function
Pass an empty string ("") to grab the default X11 screen on Windows or macOS. To check X11 support, you can use PIL.features.check_feature() with feature="xcb". The function returns a PIL image containing the captured screen content. This example captures the entire screen using the ImageGrab.grab() function.

August 5, 2018 - from PIL import ImageGrab import os import time def screenGrab(): x = 351 y = 237 im = ImageGrab.grab((x,y,x+645,y+484)) im.save(os.getcwd() + "\\full_snap_" + str(int(time.time()) ) + ".png", "PNG") if __name__ == '__main__': screenGrab() Normally the program should be doing this : But for whatever reason he took this instead : As you can see, the coordinates does not correspond to what I've wrote and it looks like he zoom on the screen too..
