[Bug 806661] Re: [oneiric] IOError: decoder zip not available

[Marc Tardif]

Modifying setup.py to know about the new architecture specific lib
directories seems to fix the problem. Here is an example diff where the
architecture is hard coded, I'm sure there's precedent in other packages
to patch the file properly:

Title:
  [oneiric] IOError: decoder zip not available

Status in “python-imaging” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  This is the content of the _imaging compiled module from Oneiric
  desktop amd64 [20110624]:

  >>> import _imaging
  >>> dir(_imaging)
  ['__doc__', '__file__', '__name__', '__package__', 'bit_decoder', 'blend', 'convert', 'copy', 'crc32', 'draw', 'effect_mandelbrot', 'effect_noise', 'eps_encoder', 'fill', 'fli_decoder', 'font', 'getcodecstatus', 'getcount', 'gif_decoder', 'gif_encoder', 'hex_decoder', 'hex_encoder', 'jpeg_decoder', 'jpeg_encoder', 'jpeglib_version', 'linear_gradient', 'map_buffer', 'msp_decoder', 'new', 'open_ppm', 'outline', 'packbits_decoder', 'path', 'pcd_decoder', 'pcx_decoder', 'pcx_encoder', 'radial_gradient', 'raw_decoder', 'raw_encoder', 'sun_rle_decoder', 'tga_rle_decoder', 'tiff_lzw_decoder', 'wedge', 'xbm_decoder', 'xbm_encoder', 'zip_decoder', 'zip_encoder', 'zlib_version']

  And, this is the content after I dist-upgrade:

  ['__doc__', '__file__', '__name__', '__package__', 'bit_decoder',
  'blend', 'convert', 'copy', 'crc32', 'draw', 'effect_mandelbrot',
  'effect_noise', 'eps_encoder', 'fill', 'fli_decoder', 'font',
  'getcodecstatus', 'getcount', 'gif_decoder', 'gif_encoder',
  'hex_decoder', 'hex_encoder', 'linear_gradient', 'map_buffer',
  'msp_decoder', 'new', 'open_ppm', 'outline', 'packbits_decoder',
  'path', 'pcd_decoder', 'pcx_decoder', 'pcx_encoder',
  'radial_gradient', 'raw_decoder', 'raw_encoder', 'sun_rle_decoder',
  'tga_rle_decoder', 'tiff_lzw_decoder', 'wedge', 'xbm_decoder',
  'xbm_encoder']

  Notice how the latter no longer contains the zip encoder and
  decoder... this is causing some dependent projects to fail building,
  like Launchpad itself, with the exception: IOError: decoder zip not
  available
