I am trying to find an image on my screen, however it it cannot seem to even save the screenshot? Any ideas?

pyautogui.locateOnScreen('images/toolbox.jpg')

Does it have something to do with the fact that I am using python version 3.7.1 but the folder doesnt direct to that?

If you are a beginner in Python you should start with something simpler: docs.python.org/3/tutorial

Once again look at the docs. There are multiple locate functions. Unfortunately it means more work to define the file location and then in the end remove the image but the responsible PyScreeze library was written too simple regarding the temporary file handling.

Go to pyscreeze/__init__.py (located either in virutalenv or inside your python folder) file, eg: "/Users/dirk/Library/Python/2.7/lib/python/site-packages/pyscreeze/__init__.py"
Navigate to line 327 or 331, inside function: def _screenshot_osx
Remove the . symbol in tempFilename = '.screenshot%s.png', so it should look like tempFilename = 'screenshot%s.png'
