tiffany 0.6 released

Tiffany - Read/Write Multipage-Tiff with PIL without PIL
========================================================

Tiffany stands for any tiff. The tiny module solves a large set of
problems, has no dependencies and just works wherever Python works.
Tiffany was developed in the course of the *DiDoCa* project and will
always appear on PyPi.

Version 0.6
-----------

This is a compatibility update for Python 3.2.

Tiffany now works on Python 2.6, 2.7 and 3.2.

This version also reduces the needed PIL files to only four. The
same files work for python2 and python3.

You can help me by sending some tiff files with different encoding
and larger file size for testing.

I'm also thinking of

- an interface to Qt (without adding a dependency)

- a command line interface, to make tiffany into a new tiff tool,

- support for other toolkits that need to handle tiff files.

Ideas about this are most welcome.

Please let me know if this stuff works for you, and send requests to
<tis...@stackless.com> or use the links in the bitbucket website:

https://bitbucket.org/didoca/tiffany

cheers -- Chris

Howdy.

I saw quite a lot of downloads of this package now, but not
a single reaction or any feedback.

How can I get more than just down-loaders?
I would like to know, if

- this module is of use for you
- if there are wishes to get more functionality
- if it makes sense at all
- if there are feature requests.

I could stop right now, freeze development as the stuff does what is
supposed to do in the relevant Python versions, name it 1.0 and forget
about it.

But I don't want to.
Can somebody please give me some feedback?
Criticism?
Helpful, useless, boring, whatsoever?

thanks -- cheers - Chris

Feel fortunate that you are getting any downloads at all :)

In my experience, if you are really lucky, perhaps one in a hundred
people who download a package will comment about it.

You can't force people to comment. Do you have a blog where you can
report new functionality or bug fixes? That might help drive interest.

Sure, why not? If the package is feature complete, then why keep making
changes to it just for the sake of change?

As frustrating as it is, you should expect that unless you have thousands
of users, or tens of thousands, you won't get much feedback.

If you are writing software for fame and attention, you're in the wrong
industry :)

BTW, I have no need for your software, but that doesn't mean it isn't a
good and valuable piece of work. Thank you for sharing it with the
community, even if only a few people find it useful.

Well, multi page tiff looks like a niche to me.

Anyway, the word play tiff-any is clever, that's all I can say :D

Ok, good to know. This is my first little package (funny, eh? Did much
larger things), and this is new to me.

Good input. I was trying to blog several times, but somehow lost it, again.
Thanks a lot, I will force myself to blog. (but I'm more into email
conversations, maybe doing stuff for too long ? )

I assume not, at least I think. I want to do things right, and to
see if they are right or if I'm on the wrong track, that's why I want the feedback.
And I got quite some feedback on Stackless Python, but tiffany is a small niche
project for probably orders of magnitude less people.

Thanks for the adjustment. Now I'm feeling fine and will move on to
other targets ;-)

By the way:
Our conversation seems to have a real effect on downloads. :-)

It has been quite a boost since 20 hours from some 25-40 to now
over 200.

but it _may_ be that this is also an effect of supporting python 3.2,
which probably made quite much sense, after all.
