Python Image Library (PIL)

[sorvad]

Has anyone got this working on the PI yet ?

I've installed it using aptitude but when I run my script I get the error that

"ImportError : cannot import name ImageTk"

This is part of PIL, I've checked and the PIL folder is in the correct place:

/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/PIL/

but nothing seems to be happening, perhaps it's a path thing ? I'm new to Linux so not sure how to set that if I need to.

I've have had other errors for Tkinter etc. and successfully added those but this one just seems to refuse.

Are you using the debian image? If so, you probably want PIL for python 2.6. Try python -V to check which version you are using.

2.4,2.5 and 2.6 are in the Debain squeeze image. I did the check and it was using 2.6. So i copied the site-packages folder from 2.5 to 2.6 (as according to the PIL site the current version works for 2.5 and 2.6) but it made no difference. So still a bit puzzled. It does seem to be finding the image part of PIL but not imagetk, my line is

from PIL import image,imagetk

You might need to install the python module Tkinter. I'm sorry but I can't remember the Debian package name off the top of my head. It will be something like python-tk. Do a search with :

Code: Select all

$ sudo aptitude search python ¦ grep tk

Already installed tkinter successfully as it it was one of items needed by my project. I know it was successful as it was originally moaning that it wasn't there until I installed it.

Right, I've sorted this, turns out there's a "python-imaging-tk" module that needs to be installed as well. In fact from a new install of Debian squeeze this appears to pull all the other required packages. I had to install xterm as well but then my project ran fine.
