bnmnetp / cimage Goto Github PK

I have had one report from a user that cImage does not work with anaconda. Subsequently I downloaded the anaconda distribution and tried it myself. Although there are no error messages, the images are not displayed in the window. I want to emphasize that cImage continues to work fine with the standard distribution of Python, both 2.x and 3.x so it appears this is limited to anaconda.

I'm not sure what the source of the error is, although I've been told it has something to do with tkinter.

I would love to hear from someone knowledgeable about anaconda that might be able to shed some light on this.

Some students and I are encountering this sort of error with cImage and Python 3.4, but not in Python 3.2:

$ python3
Python 3.4.0 (default, Apr 11 2014, 13:05:11)
[GCC 4.8.2] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

import cImage
e = cImage.EmptyImage(300, 300)
e.getPixel(0, 0)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
File "/home/gdweber/.local/lib/python3.4/site-packages/cImage.py", line 310, in getTkPixel
p = [int(j) for j in self.im.get(x,y).split()]
AttributeError: 'tuple' object has no attribute 'split'

After looking into the source code of cImage.py a little, I thought that installing Pillow would help, but it doesn't. It seems that there is also an error importing (part of) PIL:

cImage.pilAvailable
False
from PIL import Image as PIL_Image
from PIL import ImageTk
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
ImportError: cannot import name 'ImageTk'

Those of us encountering the error are using recent versions of Ubuntu. In my case it's Lubuntu 14.04.1 LTS, Python 3.4.0, and python3-pil 2.3.0-1ubuntu3.
