Pillow
|
|
======
|
|
|
|
Pillow is the "friendly" PIL fork. PIL is the Python Imaging Library.
|
|
|
|
Introduction
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
The (fork) author's goal is to foster packaging improvements by publicizing
|
|
development and exploring packaging problems within the fork.
|
|
|
|
Justification
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
PIL is currently not setuptools compatible. Please see
|
|
http://mail.python.org/pipermail/image-sig/2010-August/006480.html for a
|
|
more detailed explanation.

What follows is (mostly) the original PIL documentation.

|
Introduction
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The Python Imaging Library (PIL) adds image processing capabilities
|
|
to your Python environment. This library provides extensive file
|
|
format support, an efficient internal representation, and powerful
|
|
image processing capabilities.
|
|
|
|
This source kit has been built and tested with Python 2.0 and newer,
|
|
on Windows, Mac OS X, and major Unix platforms. Large parts of the
|
|
library also work on 1.5.2 and 1.6.
|
|
|
|
The main distribution site for this software is:
|
|
|
|
http://www.pythonware.com/products/pil/
|
|
|
|
That site also contains information about free and commercial support
|
|
options, PIL add-ons, answers to frequently asked questions, and more.
|
|
|
|
Development versions (alphas, betas) are available here:
|
