Hi!
The PIL module looks like it is changing and this has consequences for pyx. A
summary of the changes and how it affects packages was made by the Debian
python maintainer:
http://lists.debian.org/[email protected]
There aren't a lot of places where PIL modules are imported, but eventually
each of these will need to be changed to be compatible with the new layout.
pyx/mesh.py: import Image
pyx/mesh.py: import Image
pyx/epsfile.py: import Image
examples/bitmap/jpeg.txt: import Image
examples/bitmap/pil.py:import Image
contrib/imgconvert.py: import Image
contrib/epstopng.py:import Image # we use the python image library (PIL)
Fortunately, the change is quite trivial and backwards compatible:
import Image
becomes
try:
from PIL import Image
except ImportError:
import Image
(trying the new style import and then the old style import). In Debian and
Ubuntu, the python-imaging-compat package will provide a temporary
compatibility layer and I'll make the pyx packages depend on that compatibility
layer for the time being.
I'm happy to throw a patch for this in your direction closer to the time when
PIL changes hit the repository, but feel free to beat me to it if you so desire
;)
cheers
Stuart
