We're thinking about using PIL (Python Imaging Library) in a project.
Before we start down this path, I'm wondering if anyone can give me a
rough estimate how much disk space the PIL package adds to a
distribution and how difficult is it to distribute PIL as part of py2exe
project?
Background: We're using Python 2.7 32-bit for Windows). We're very
familiar with py2exe. We are new to the PIL library.
I use it for some time with Py 2.5 and Py 2.6 on Windows, haven't moved
to Py 2.7 yet. Do not recall any problems when using it in relation to
py2exe.
I use the "zipfile" option in py2exe, so the additional size is about
500kb un-compressed with my usage(i.e. what I see in in zipfile/pil, see
below for the "import's" I use). Looking at PIL in site-packages this
could go up to about 1.6 Mb.
In the setup.py I don't do anything special but in my code using PIL I
have the following lines:
import PIL.Image as Image
import PIL.PngImagePlugin
import PIL.GifImagePlugin
import PIL.JpegImagePlugin
import PIL.BmpImagePlugin
Image._initialized=2

Hope this helps
