taking webcam photos in python 3 and windows

I want to be able to take a photo from a webcam in python 3 and Windows. Are there any modules that support it? I have tried pygame, but it is only linux and python 2, and VideoCapture is only python 2.

    Pygame 3.4 Ver. is released

    You can download "pygame‑1.9.2a0.win32‑py3.4.exe"

    take a photo from a webcam in python 3.4 (testing on window 7) code [1]

    import pygame
import pygame.camera

pygame.camera.init()
cam = pygame.camera.Camera(0,(640,480))
cam.start()
img = cam.get_image()
pygame.image.save(img,"filename.jpg")
