Pillow-1.4.zip

.. contents:: Pillow ====== Pillow is a "friendly" PIL fork. PIL is the Python Imaging Library. Introduction ------------ The 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. Python Imaging Library ---------------------- 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: http://effbot.org/downloads/ The PIL handbook is not included in this distribution; to get the latest version, check: http://www.pythonware.com/library/ For installation and licensing details, see below. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Support Options -------------------------------------------------------------------- Commercial Support ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Secret Labs (PythonWare) offers support contracts for companies using the Python Imaging Library in commercial applications, and in mission- critical environments. The support contract includes technical support, bug fixes, extensions to the PIL library, sample applications, and more.
