Because of the memory limitations on a raspberry pi, I discovered that if I
use Pillow to read the image and scale it to the screen dimensions instead
of the photo untouched dimensions it would work really well. Since doing
that, I haven't run out of memory putting a large image into a sprite.
So basically I do something like this:
1. A schedule fires off and calls the image load method
2. Image load =
1. tmp_pilimage = PIL.Image.open(path_to_image)
2. If the orientation of the image needs to be adjusted, do so then
3. tmp_pilimage.thumbnail((target_width,
target_height),PIL.Image.LANCZOS)
3. curpic_image = pyglet.image.load(path_to_image)
4. curpic_sprite = pyglet.sprite.Sprite(curpic_image)
What does release the GIL mean?
