How do I connect to a local video camera and stream it over the internet with my python app?

Quentin Neill, James Brown,


For a good concepts book on internet video, I like "Mastering Internet 
Video" (http://tinyurl.com/45zd6z).

For downloadable video streaming components, you should check out 
http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/ which is not written in python but is 
used by other projects which are (see http://flumotion.net/).

Streaming video is a complex task; doing it "in [your] python app" is a 
vague goal or requirement which doesn't really explain what exactly you 
are trying to accomplish in the python environment.
