[Bug 1112496] Re: python-imaging broken in raring

[Matthias Klose]

just Image doesn't seem to be enough. What about starting with the
modules listed in the PIL handbook?

http://pythonware.com/library/pil/handbook/ (Part II, Module Reference)

The Image Module
The ImageChops Module
The ImageColor Module
The ImageDraw Module
The ImageEnhance Module
The ImageFile Module
The ImageFileIO Module
The ImageFilter Module
The ImageFont Module
The ImageGrab Module
The ImageMath Module
The ImageOps Module
The ImagePalette Module
The ImagePath Module
The ImageQt Module
The ImageSequence Module
The ImageStat Module
The ImageTk Module
The ImageWin Module
The PSDraw Module
The ImageCrackCode Module
The ImageGL Module

Bug description:
  python-imaging in raring doesn't include a PIL.pth to point python at
  the library, so attempts to import modules from the package fail with,
  eg:

  rachel at rarity:/etc$ python -m ImageMode && echo ok
  /usr/bin/python: No module named Image

  When the PIL.pth file is manually created, so python can find it, the
  Image module itself still fails to load:

  rachel at rarity:/etc$ python -m Image
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/lib/python2.7/runpy.py", line 162, in _run_module_as_main
      "__main__", fname, loader, pkg_name)
    File "/usr/lib/python2.7/runpy.py", line 72, in _run_code
      exec code in run_globals
    File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/PIL/Image.py", line 75, in <module>
      from . import ImageMode
  ValueError: Attempted relative import in non-package

  The ImageMode module that line seems to be trying to import, however,
  seems to import fine by itself:

  rachel at rarity:/etc$ python -m ImageMode && echo ok
  ok

  (I've confirmed that ImageMode comes from the same place, as if I
  remove PIL.pth again, the above line just returns the "No module named
  ImageMode" error)

  I've tried reinstalling python-imaging already. I note in any case the
  PIL.pth file is missing on the file list available at
  packages.ubuntu.com for raring.

  This is on Ubuntu Raring as updated from Ubuntu Quantal a few days
  ago:

  rachel at rarity:/etc$ lsb_release -rd

  Affects me as it affects building/packaging XBMC post-frodo for
  raring. :-)
