Depends on what you mean by "on the fly". On Windows you can do this:

To make a copy of only the active window, press ALT+PRINT SCREEN. 
To copy the entire screen as it appears on your monitor, press PRINT
SCREEN. 

If you place "scene.mouse.getclick()" in your program at the point where
you intend to make the screen copy, the program will halt until there is a
mouse click.

If on the other hand you mean "How can I be running a VPython program which
every few seconds outputs a JPEG file which is read up by a browser" then
I'm totally out of my depth. It wouldn't surprise me however to find that
among the vast collection of Python modules there is something that would
do even this.
