Maybe pyimlib2 is the way to go. Let's think about it. You also have pyevas which should only be python wrappers for evas. That's fine. We have pyimlib2 as imlib2 wrapper. The point is: pyimlib2 has stuff that doesn't belong there. But instead of changing the name, what about moving it somewhere else? Mevas may be a good start. In the future I want pyevas integrated into mevas to have one powerfull image handling and drawing module. So the pyimlib2 display stuff should be part of it. And we can also move the thumbnail stuff into it. So maybe we should rename mevas? Mevas could be the powerfull image module we want, depending on pyimlib2, pyevas, pydirectfb and pygame (not everything is a requirement). > We have one candidate, suggested by crunchy, which is Dali, named after > Salvador Dal�, a Spanish painter.

So I vote for salvador. But maybe someone else has a better idea. Dischi -- If you receive something that says 'Send this to everyone you know,' pretend you don't know me. (Roy Johnson)
