| Porting
 | |
| =======
 | |
| 
 | |
| **Porting existing PIL-based code to Pillow**
 | |
| 
 | |
| Pillow is a functional drop-in replacement for the Python Imaging Library. To
 | |
| run your existing PIL-compatible code with Pillow, it needs to be modified to
 | |
| import the ``Image`` module from the ``PIL`` namespace *instead* of the
 | |
| global namespace. Change this::
 | |
| 
 | |
|     import Image
 | |
| 
 | |
| to this::
 | |
| 
 | |
|     from PIL import Image
 | |
| 
 | |
| The :py:mod:`_imaging` module has been moved. You can now import it like this::
 | |
| 
 | |
|     from PIL.Image import core as _imaging
 | |
| 
 | |
| The image plugin loading mechanism has changed. Pillow no longer
 | |
| automatically imports any file in the Python path with a name ending
 | |
| in :file:`ImagePlugin.py`. You will need to import your image plugin
 | |
| manually.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Pillow will raise an exception if the core extension can't be loaded
 | |
| for any reason, including a version mismatch between the Python and
 | |
| extension code. Previously PIL allowed Python only code to run if the
 | |
| core extension was not available.
