PIL and Bitmap from WinAPI

Question

I have code that makes a screenshot of the window using winapi. Then I have to save image to disk and load it again from disk to memory PIL. Is there any way at once without saving to disk to pass this bitmap in the PIL.

import win32gui, win32ui, win32con
import Image

win_name='Book'
bmpfilenamename='1.bmp'
hWnd = win32gui.FindWindow(None, win_name)
windowcor = win32gui.GetWindowRect(hWnd)
w=windowcor[2]-windowcor[0]
h=windowcor[3]-windowcor[1]
wDC = win32gui.GetWindowDC(hWnd)
dcObj=win32ui.CreateDCFromHandle(wDC)
cDC=dcObj.CreateCompatibleDC()
dataBitMap = win32ui.CreateBitmap()
dataBitMap.CreateCompatibleBitmap(dcObj, w, h)
cDC.SelectObject(dataBitMap)
cDC.BitBlt((0,0),(w, h) , dcObj, (0,0), win32con.SRCCOPY)
dataBitMap.SaveBitmapFile(cDC, bmpfilenamename)

#dcObj.DeleteDC()
#cDC.DeleteDC()
#win32gui.ReleaseDC(hWnd, wDC)

im=Image.open(bmpfilenamename)
im.load()

Comment out this line:

dataBitMap.SaveBitmapFile(cDC, bmpfilenamename)

and add this instead:

bmpinfo = dataBitMap.GetInfo()
bmpstr = dataBitMap.GetBitmapBits(True)
im = Image.frombuffer(
    'RGB',
    (bmpinfo['bmWidth'], bmpinfo['bmHeight']),
    bmpstr, 'raw', 'BGRX', 0, 1)
