I am having trouble with the gp.GP_CAPTURE_IMAGE function in python. The command is able to take a photo but it isn't downloading anywhere. When I run the --capture-image-and-download in the command line it downloads to my photos. Could you help me with the downloading aspect.

The libgphoto2 API is documented here: http://www.gphoto.org/doc/api/

Note that gp_camera_capture returns a CameraFilePath that tells you the folder and name of the captured image file. You can then download the image with gp_camera_file_get.
