There are ffmpeg python modules are available

ffmpeg: https://code.google.com/p/pyffmpeg/

pyAV: https://github.com/mikeboers/PyAV

import av

container = av.open('/path/to/video.mp4')

for packet in container.demux():
    for frame in packet.decode():
        if frame.type == 'video':
            frame.to_image().save('/path/to/frame-%04d.jpg' % frame.index)
