error importing PIL

[mike]

Hi all,

I had got an Import error on PIL (far below). For whatever reason, my
installation (which is the most recent, and downloaded from the PIL
website) requires "from PIL import Image" instead of "import Image".
(see my patch file below, everything between the starred lines).

This could be a recent change on PIL's part (or a misconfiguration on
my machine). Is there a way to automatically check for both? Or if
PIL is no longer supporting "import Image", perhaps updating the hook?

Cheers
Mike

I really wonder about this: According to PyInstaller/hooks/hook-Image.py
and PyInstaller/hooks/hook-PIL.Image.py PIL can be imported by either
"import Image" or "from PIL import Image". This is since PIL puts a file
"PIL.pth" into site-packages.

I just checked and PIL.pth is still in 1.1.7 source kit and in SVN (both
trunk and 1.1.7). Can you please check whether PIL.pth is in you
site-packages directory.

Looks like this may be a Mac only issue? For me, its a egg directory,
there's no PIL.pth.
As for what hook-PIL.Image says, I don't know. My error isn't coming
out of hook-PIL.Image though.

Cheers

Could it be becasue pyinstaller can't handle *.pth files?

The error mike described occurs when handling the hook, so it's a build
time issue: the import fails.
AFAIK there should be no need to handle *.pth files, since this is done
transparently by Python.

A test on my system shows all these are working:
$ python -c 'import Image'
$ python -c 'import PIL.Image'
$ python -c 'from PIL import Image'

IC.

I'll change the hook to support both. This should not harm.
