Pillow
======
Pillow is a "friendly" fork of the Python Imaging Library. The goal is to see
if any improvement can be made to the packaging situation(*) by opening up
development to the "public" and exploring the problem within the fork.
Pillow is a "friendly" PIL fork. PIL is the Python Imaging Library.
Please email: aclark@aclark.net if you'd like to help, or complain.
Introduction
------------
(*) PIL aims to support the 'import Image' statement which will fail whenever
there is another 'Image' module in the top level namespace.
The author's goal is to foster packaging improvements by publicizing
development and exploring packaging problems within the fork.
For PIL's README, check out PIL.txt
Explanation
-----------
PIL is currently not setuptools compatible. See:
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/image-sig/2010-August/006480.html for a
detailed explanation.
