The Sane documentation seems to imply that these option strings contain
Latin-1 text, not byte data, so we decode it and present it to the user
that way.
The EPS encoder wasn't part of Gohlke's test suite, so the previous "fixes"
there were only expected syntactic ones. This gives a cleaner fix to the
encoder.
The decoder doesn't work in round-trip due to a missing eps_decoder method
on the core module, but it's clear it worked at some point.
This is Gohlke's fix for two issues: negative indexes on paths were not
resolved to the correct index, and path slicing didn't work.
His fix for slicing is related to the one found at:

With this commit, all 79 tests (82 minus the three skipped ones) run
successfully on Python 2.6.8, Python 2.7.3rc2, and Python 3.2.3.
There are two main issues fixed with this commit:
* bytes vs. str: All file, image, and palette data are now handled as
bytes. A new _binary module consolidates the hacks needed to do this
across Python versions. tostring/fromstring methods have been renamed to
tobytes/frombytes, but the Python 2.6/2.7 versions alias them to the old
names for compatibility. Users should move to tobytes/frombytes.
One other potentially-breaking change is that text data in image files
(such as tags, comments) are now explicitly handled with a specific
character encoding in mind. This works well with the Unicode str in
Python 3, but may trip up old code expecting a straight byte-for-byte
translation to a Python string. This also required a change to Gohlke's
tags tests (in Tests/test_file_png.py) to expect Unicode strings from
the code.
* True div vs. floor div: Many division operations used the "/" operator
to do floor division, which is now the "//" operator in Python 3. These
were fixed.
As of this commit, on the first pass, I have one failing test (improper
handling of a slice object in a C module, test_imagepath.py) in Python 3,
and three that that I haven't tried running yet (test_imagegl,
test_imagegrab, and test_imageqt). I also haven't tested anything on
Windows. All but the three skipped tests run flawlessly against Pythons
2.6 and 2.7.
int() is really now long() in py3k, but to avoid breaking 2.6/2.7, we leave
the integer types where they are and just map long to int in py3k.
Also, pretty proud of myself for finding an easy way of detecting py3k.
This is, I guess, a few things the Python devs were just fed up with.
* "while 1" is now "while True"
* Types are compared with isinstance instead of ==
* Sort a list in one go with sorted()
My own twist is to also replace type('') with str, type(()) with tuple,
type([]) with list, type(1) with int, and type(5000.0) with float.
In py3k, imports are absolute unless using the "from . import" syntax.
This commit also solves a recursive import between Image, ImageColor, and
ImagePalette by delay-importing ImagePalette in Image.
I'm not too keen on this commit because the syntax is ugly. I might go back
and prefer the prettier "from PIL import".
What's really going on is that map() and filter() return iterators in py3k.
I've just gone ahead and turned them all into list comprehensions, because
I find them much easier to read.
y.has_key(x) is gone (use x in y), and keys(), values(), items(), and
range() all return views.
Some iterables needed to be packed into lists, either because the code
expected a list (such as "range(256) * 3") or because the original
collection was being modified (automatic global declarations).
The Tiff ImageFileDictionary is a special case and will be dealt with in
another commit.
This gets the putdata test case to run correctly under 2.6/2.7. It fixes an
issue where the value 0xFFFFFFFF (which is long in old Python) isn't
recognized and putdata tries to parse it as a tuple.
The original fix comes from Christoph Gohlke. It was adapted to work in
both 2.* and 3.*.
