Hi all,
I'm a matplotlib newbie and have recently installed matplotlib as part
of the Python(x,y) distribution for Windows. I want to do some image
manipulation (e.g. basemap.warpimage()) and my initial installation
didn't have the Python Imaging Library (PIL) installed, so I installed
this via easy_install:
easy_install PIL
This worked, but it was installed in such a way that the import command
from PIL import Image
doesn't work (it seems that "import Image" works instead). This means
that basemap.warpimage() does not work because it expects to be able
to import PIL through the former expression. I can try to install PIL
some other way, but does this indicate that the basemap module should
try both ways of importing PIL, as different users might have
different setups? Is there a quick fix that I could apply?
(Apologies if this question has been asked before - I did some
Googling and didn't find anything.)
Regards, Jon

PIL does not get installed correctly using setuptools. You'll need to install the old-fashioned way, i.e. "python setup.py install".

Dear Dr. Blower,
I would by all means suggest the Enthought Python Distribution
(http://www.enthought.com/) in place of Python(x,y). EPD already
includes PIL, MPL and Basemap (although in a somewhat "abridged" and
outdated version, but this is just a matter of upgrading).
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
2009/1/13 Jon Blower <j.d.blower@...2446...>:

Thanks Jeff, this is good to know. I went back and reinstalled
Python(x,y) and installed PIL as part of the setup options, then it
all worked fine. Very useful to know that sometimes easy_install
isn't the right option for installing plugins.
(Thanks also to Mauro for your suggestion.)

[Image-SIG] cannot import from PIL when easy_installed
PIL does not get installed correctly using setuptools. You'll need to
install the old-fashioned way, i.e. "python setup.py install".
