Sorry if that doesn’t describes what I need to do but i need to make a program or script that goes to the ‘Pictures’ folder on a windows system grab a picture (I assume using a byte string) store it in a file (pickle or…) and load the file into another folder…

long story short, I have a program that would be complete if I could add a function that can be run on a computer (mine or anyone with my program installed) go to there ‘pictures’ folder on a windows os and take a picture image file and store them in a transportable file (pickle) then take that file and unload(pickle) it on my/another computer using a function preferably the same one

    As I mentioned in my earlier comment you could write something that open()ed both the source image file and a destination file in binary mode, and then use the file read() and write() methods to copy the bytes from one file to the other.

    However that’s a somewhat low-level approach would be reinventing the wheel.

    A better alternative would be to just use one of the existing copyfile...() or even higher-level copy...() file copying functions in the shutil module, which you can read about here.
