Answer 1

As per Damian Yerrick's comment, under Python 3 the result of pygame.image.tostring() is a bytes, despite the method's name. Thus we can go out of this situation with this simple code:

pygame.camera.init()
cam = pygame.camera.Camera(pygame.camera.list_cameras()[0],(1280,720))
cam.start()
time.sleep(1)
webcamImage = cam.get_image()
pil_string_image = pygame.image.tostring(webcamImage,"RGBA",False)
im = Image.frombytes("RGBA",(1280,720),pil_string_image)
