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.
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.
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.
