Pillow is the friendly PIL fork. Initially just a packaging fork, now considering image code bug fixes and Python 3 support. To be friendly, we attempt to track changes against upstream tickets in PIL.
Pillow 1.7.8 is out! Read about it here:
Features
- It's PIL (Python Imaging Library)
- It installs on all modern systems [1]
- Win32 eggs are provided (special thanks to Takayuki Shimizukawa)
Changes
This release includes:
- Removed doctests.py that made tests of other packages fail. [thomasdesvenain]
- Fix opening psd files with RGBA layers when A mode is not of type 65535 but 3. Fixes issue https://github.com/python-imaging/Pillow/issues/3 [thomasdesvenain]
Install
To install Pillow:
$ easy_install Pillow
Or:
$ pip install Pillow
Or:
$ python setup.py install (inside the extracted zip)
Or:
$ pip install zc.buildout $ buildout init
With buildout.cfg:
[buildout] parts = pillow [pillow] recipe = zc.recipe.egg
And:
$ buildout
(Note: easy_install & pip each handle namespace packages differently, so you should choose one or the other, and not mix the two.)
