Not sure why, but the error appears while I'm trying to save the object 'im' to the appropriate file, with a time stamp, in png format.

im is a tuple: im = (), Why do you think you have a save() method?

im is an empty tuple, and a tuple has no save method.

Furthermore the braces are somewhat wrong and I assume you're looking for im.save(os.getcwd() + '\full_snap__' + str(int(time.time())) + '.png', 'PNG')

As a side note, make path operations more readable with pathlib and str.format(): pathlib.Path.cwd() / 'full_snap__{}.png'.format(int(time.time()))
