Has anybody here got PIL (the Image lib) working on Windows XP x64 (64-
bit)? There is no version available for that platform from
pythonware.com.

Thanks,

Investigated this a little more. Since I only needed to resize an
image I thought going through all the hoops of building PIL was too
much effort and took a look at PythonMagick. Turned out I had to build
that myself as well. Am I the first that wants to do image
manipulation on x64 using python? Are there alternatives?

Anyway, I guess that if I knew the hoops you have to jump to when
using windows xp 64-bit instead of 32-bit I would have stayed with the
latter.

I would install the 32-bit Python interpreter.

Shouldn't your distro maintainers have it in their repositories?

You mean, it might be in Microsoft's Open Source Repository?
Worth a try :-)
