As decided by FESCo on 2012-12-05 meeting, all proposed Features are required to pass through the community review by announcing them on devel-announce list. FESCo votes on new features no sooner than a week from the announcement.
= Features/Pillow = https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Pillow * Detailed description: The PIL project has been rather inactive lately (last release in 2009), and one big issue is the missing python 3 compatibility. There seems to be some general agreement that Pillow [1] is a likely candidate to succeed PIL, and in particular to bring python 3 support, see the discussion at [2]. Pillow describes itself as "Pillow is the "friendly" PIL fork. PIL is the Python Imaging Library. Pillow was started for and is currently maintained by the Plone community. But it is used by many other folks in the Python web community, and probably elsewhere too." The fork author's goal is to foster packaging improvements via: - Publicized development and solicitation of community support. - Exploration of packaging problems within the fork, most noticably via adding setuptools support but also via clean up & refactoring of packaging code. Pillow is practically a drop-in replacement for PIL, except one small issue (see below). For Python 3, there is a fork which offers Py3 compatibility here [3]. The patches are planed for review and merge into Pillow, see [4].
