I am trying to use pylibtiff to read tiff files into numpy array.. i
installed the windows installer provided on the site and now if i try
importing, python encounters with following error:
>>> from libtiff import *
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "D:/Python27/testtifflib.py", line 4, in <module>
from libtiff import *
File "D:\Python27\lib\site-packages\libtiff\__init__.py", line 4, in
<module>
from .libtiff import libtiff, TIFF
File "D:\Python27\lib\site-packages\libtiff\libtiff.py", line 35, in
<module>
raise ImportError('Failed to find TIFF library. Make sure that libtiff
is installed and its location is listed in PATH|LD_LIBRARY_PATH|..')
ImportError: Failed to find TIFF library. Make sure that libtiff is
installed and its location is listed in PATH|LD_LIBRARY_PATH|..
i also tried this :
import sys
sys.path.append("D:\\Python27\\Lib\\site-packages\\libtiff")
from libtiff import *

appreciated.. m i missing something here??

The referred missing TIFF library is the libtiff binary.
You can crab it from
http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/tiff.htm
Another approach would be to use pure Python TIFF support.
For that TIFF library support should be disabled by not
importing the libtiff.py module (e.g. edit __init__.py file
accordingly).

Hi,
I have the same problem. I installed first 'tiff-3.8.2-1.exe'
and 'pylibtiff-0.1-svn.win32.exe' afterward. And the libtiff location is
listed under sys.path ...
So any ideas what to do?
Cheers, Sebi

Could you try adding the location of the libtiff dll file to the system
PATH environment variable so that os.environ['PATH'] contains this location.
And then try importing libtiff.

I am encountering the same problem, I have tried all the suggestions except
to use pure Python TIFF support (as I have no idea how to do this). Does
anyone have a solution by now?
Thanks!

Hi,
I had/have the same problem. I work on debian with 0.3.0~svn78-3.1 and
libtiff 4.0.3. I was able to get a work around by copying
/usr/share/pyshared/libtiff/tiff_h_4_0_1.py to my working directory and
rename it tiff_h_4_0_3.py. It should work putting it in
/usr/share/pyshared/libtiff but it didn't, but that's probably just because
of a stupid mistake.
Good luck
Ben

If you use a 64-bit version of Windows, you should also copy libtiff3.dll
to C:\Windows\SysWOW64\
I did this and it worked for me.

@Kevin: I have been struggled with this problem for almost whole day, and
then this libtiff3.dll with 64-bit Windows 7 trick worked out, really nice.
Thanks a lot!
