libcamera support

[goldyfruit]

Hi,

Is there any plan to make this module compatible with the new camera interface of Raspberry Pi OS 64-bit? Raspberry Pi OS 64-bit doesn't work anymore with the Python picamera library.

Libcamera is the new "default" interface to interact with camera, more information available here: https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentation/accessories/camera.html#libcamera-and-libcamera-apps

Thanks :)

Seems that picamera2 has been released; https://www.raspberrypi.com/news/picamera2-beta-release/

Hi.

Do you have a plan to use this module with the actualy PiOS with libcamera library or with the picamera2 library or does anyone have another solution for the problem?

Thanks.

@nischi is there any commit related to this change?

[nischi]

nope 🙈

But after checking in the code repo, since tools/picamera.py doesn't exist anymore I'm not sure there is anything to do about that here. picamera is imported from imutils so if there is a change to do it's in there.
