Hi, You should checkout http://www.finkproject.org/ which creates a 'sandbox' for gnu/unix/non-mac utilities. It comes with a GUI which lets you select packages from their repository (similar to a yum/apt-get repository for several linux distributions out there). It also comes with command-line tools, if you prefer.
Once you've installed fink and python, you can directly call the python binary installed in the fink default bin (eg, /sw/bin/) when using the setup tools (eg, setup.py) which comes with PIL. Using this fink 'python' will install the PIL package inside python's corresponding site-packages folder. In order to set the fink environment automatically every time you use the terminal, you'll need to modify your .bash_profile. Add the following line "test -r /sw/bin/init.sh && . /sw/bin/init.sh". You'll of course need to adapt the fink installation path as you see fit. Good luck, Paul On 4/13/07, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hello Support, I'm sitting here looking at the ReadMe for the PIL, and I realized something a few moments back: this is more complicated than I thought it would be. If it isn't too difficult, would you be able to tell me how I could put the PIL in my computer so I can just play around with Python and images. I am currently in a introductory course to computer science and we are using Python. I am running it on a MacBook Pro right now. I guess I had to download a MacPython in order to make Python work on my system. I'm not too sure, but it does seem to work. The problem that I'm having now seems to be stemming from his "Imaging-1.1.6" folder that I just downloaded. What should I do with it? I was looking at the ReadMe (that's where I got this e-mail) and it says that I'll need to download more things (correct?). My professor did say something about Fink. Now, I don't want you guys to go totally out of your way because there is a computer lab on campus that I could do all this on, but I would like it to be on my computer, too, just so I can finish the homework up and play around with image transformations.
