Hmm. First time I've ever seen that error in any context. Looks like GAE's import mechanisms cause some trouble for relative imports that won't happen if you run things stand-alone. And it looks like PIL's far from the only library suffering from this: http://www.google.com/search?q=%22SystemError:+Parent+module+*+not+loaded%22 even if most PIL reports I found seem to be for GAE. My guess is that it's some misfeature in the changes to relative import that was introduced in 2.6 (iirc), but since it doesn't happen when you run PIL in a normal configuration, I'm not sure how to debug it. If someone can come up with a simple test case that triggers this, let me know. I guess this also means that adding an ICCProfile module to the path won't help you; if you cannot figure out something better, you might have to comment out the problematic code (or you could try replacing the relative import with a "from PIL import" and see if that helps). </F> > On 13 November 2010 02:04, Fredrik Lundh <fred...@pythonware.com> wrote: >> >> On Fri, Nov 12, 2010 at 7:30 PM, Bharathwaaj Srinivasan >> <bharathwaa...@gmail.com> wrote: >> > I keep getting error in import ICCProfile in PNGImagePlugin.py _save. >> > >> > What am I missing?
