Is there a library for C to enable it to take screenshots and save as a .bmp file?

1You need to tell us how you're doing it in Python. What library did you use? – Nikos C. Oct 23 '12 at 02:50

No standard way in C. C doesn't even have the notion of a screen, let alone taking a screenshot.
The library you used in Python presumably has C bindings or at least C source code. You could look into those, or a portable GUI library such as GTK+. Or you could go for your platform's API, but that's usually not worth the frustration.
See Taking a screenshot with C\GTK for a simple GTK+ example.
