Package: python-imaging
Version: 1.1.6-3
Severity: normal
There are several problems with Image.show() method and its
documentation:
- The doctest does not explain how it works. Code comments and the PIL
tutorial say that it calls xv. (But xv is currently not in Debian.)
Actually, it can call several other (arbitrarily chosen) image viewers.
- If no supported image viewers are installed, it raises a weird
exception:
Traceback (most recent call last):
[…]
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/PIL/Image.py", line 1450, in show
_showxv(self, title, command)
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/PIL/Image.py", line 2076, in _showxv
if command in ("xv") and title:
TypeError: 'in <string>' requires string as left operand
- It creates temporary files insecurely.
