Selenium+Python. How to get an image without saving to disk?

Question

Python

Dear! Is there a way to get the image without saving it to disk?
I did not find an answer on the Internet.
This code saves via screenshot:

driver.find_element_by_css_selector('.class_name').screenshot('image.png')

But I would like to be able to get a picture in bytes without saving.
Thank you!

Something like this:

screenshot = driver.find_element_by_css_selector('class_name').screenshot_as_png
