# Live video input class.
# Note that importing this module attempts to initialize video.


# Check if video is available.
# There are three reasons for failure here:
# (1) this version of Python may not have the sv or imageop modules;
# (2) this machine may not have a video board;
# (3) initializing the video board may fail for another reason.
# The global variable have_video is set to true iff we reall do have video.
